Arsenal have been one of the most active teams during the summer transfer window, splashing in excess of £80 million on four first-team signings.
The north Londoners have already added Gabriel Jesus, Matt Turner, Marquinhos and Fabio Vieira to Mikel Arteta's squad, with a £30million move for Jesus' former teammate Oleksandr Zinchenko also set to be confirmed this week. Now, Gunners supporter Aston Mack has opened up on an extremely interesting conversation he had with owner Stan Kroenke, as well as his son Josh.
Mack, who was heavily involved in the club's recent away kit launch, has claimed that the Arsenal chiefs are extremely ambitious before revealing Josh's response to the prospect of signing Borussia Dortmund starlet Jude Bellingham. Speaking to AFTV, Mack said: "I was actually in the box with Stan, Josh, [CEO] Vinai [Venkatesham] and [technical director] Edu. It was cool.

"You know what’s interesting, I know we have a lot of feelings [towards] him, but Stan… he wants to win you know. He was talking about Champions League while we were in there.
"And I told him, listen, if you want to get us excited, if you really want to get that connection back, get us Bellingham. Really, really get us going and act like a big club again.
"Josh was like: 'I’m hearing you, I’m hearing you.' Josh was really into it."
Bellingham, who has been linked with the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool, still has three years left on his contract with Dortmund and is currently valued by CIES Football Observatory between €120million - €150million (£102million - £128million).
