Mikel Arteta has insisted Arsenal can look forward to a “wonderful future” despite the surprise departure of the vice-chair, Tim Lewis, as part of a boardroom reshuffle at the club.
It was confirmed on Friday that Lewis, who is regarded as a significant figure at Arsenal and played a key role in their £250m summer spending spree alongside the new sporting director, Andrea Berta, has left after fulfilling several roles under the American owners, Kroenke Sports & Entertainment (KSE), since they first invested in Arsenal in 2007.
