Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke is facing up to a huge payout worth $571million because NFL owners are finally expected to approve a resolution over the Los Angeles Rams' relocation from St. Louis to Los Angeles.
And that could have an adverse effect on Arsenal's transfer plans moving forward. The Gunners have splashed out more than £150million in each of the last two summer transfer windows, handing Mikel Arteta a squad worthy of challenging at the top of the Premier League table.
The Gunners are top of the pile after ten games of the season, losing just once, leading Manchester City and Tottenham by four points. Signings like Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Martin Odegaard, Thomas Partey, Aaron Ramsdale, Ben White, William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes have all played crucial roles in that early success.
