Arsenal director Josh Kroenke believes competing for the Premier League title means the Gunners can also mix it with the Champions League elite.
The north London outfit have been surprise pace setters in the top flight this term, winning nine of their 10 games so far. Last season Mikel Arteta's side narrowly missed out on the top four and they were looking to improve on that showing, but have, so far, exceeded expectations.
The Kroenke ownership has been heavily criticised throughout its time at the helm. Owner Stan is rarely seen at games and Josh has notably taken on more of a hands-on role in recent years. The Kroenkes have been prepared to pump money into the squad in recent summers, which has increased Arsenal's competitiveness as they set lofty ambitions, backing Arteta's vision.
