Josh Kroenke has explained that Edu and Mikel Arteta only want to sign players who are passionate about Arsenal. The American believes that, along with players who are elevated through the youth ranks, combines for a healthy culture at the club.
Techinical director Edu is preparing for a busy summer transfer window, but Kroenke has said that the Brazilian and Arteta have set out a 'blueprint' for the type of player they want to sign.
Writing in the matchday programme for Sunday's clash with Everton, he said: "On a recruitment standpoint I will always defer to Edu and Mikel but I know they have a blueprint of the type of player and specific positions that we need to reinforce heading into the summer, so I’ll defer to them and support them in every way that we can in their pursuit of elevating the quality of the squad and also ensuring that we have the right mentality of player coming in.
