How Arsenal's Kroenke rebuild led by Mikel Arteta has influenced Chelsea's Graham Potter plan

Arsenal showed faith and stood by Mikel Arteta at the end of last season despite the club missing out on a top-four spot. The Gunners have invested heavily in signing young talents that have now developed into high-quality players as they continue their Premier League title challenge against Manchester City.

The Spaniard has been key in changing the atmosphere and mood at the Emirates Stadium, proving that if a manager is given time then they can build a special team. Chelsea are at the start of a new era after Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital completed a £4billion takeover at Stamford Bridge, swiftly followed by the appointment of Graham Potter as Thomas Tuchel's successor.

The Blues have spent over £600million on new signings in Boehly's first season as co-owner, bringing in the likes of Enzo Fernandez, Mykhailo Mudryk, Raheem Sterling, Wesley Fofana and Co. Some have criticised Chelsea's mass spending spree and with results on the pitch not going according to plan, pressure is building on the ownership and Potter.
