Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke takes key step to secure blockbuster $115m transfer

Arsenal are gearing up for a big summer in the transfer window having lost out on the Premier League title to Manchester City.

The Gunners' 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest on Saturday sealed City their third Premier League title in a row despite Arsenal holding an eight-point advantage only a couple of months ago. Arsenal will go again next season having hopefully strengthened their ranks with world-class talent.

Mikel Arteta's side are well ahead of schedule having returned to the Champions League for next season and recording their highest finish of the Spaniard's reign with young players coming on and established signings from last summer bedding in quickly. Indeed, Gunners owner Stan Kroenke knows that this summer is pivotal and money will need to be spent to land the players that can push the club on again.
