Arsenal loanee Auston Trusty has revealed how Kroenke Sports & Entertainment helped him complete a shock move from Colorado Rapids back in January last year.
With Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang departing alongside several other squad players, supporters were left perplexed when an unknown Trusty was announced as the club's only January signing. Amid the confusion - and frustration - amongst fans, reports soon surfaced which did offer some clarity as to why the move for Trusty was sanctioned.
It was part of KSE's plan to create deeper connections between their sporting franchises, with the aim to share information across their network that would allow Arsenal to expand scouting operations in North America. In an attempt to kickstart those plans, Trusty was signed from Kroenke-owned Colorado Rapids in what ultimately turned out to be a business move.
