Mikel Arteta has opened up on the impact of Stan Kroenke as owner since taking over as Arsenal manager. The fan favourite as a player is now set to enter his third full season as head coach and is looking to build on the second place finish from last term.
Having been under immense pressure just 18 months ago following a disastrous start to the season and continuing toxicity in the fanbase, Arteta has since managed to bring life and connection back to the club. He managed to overturn widespread criticism and anger in December 2021 to become one of the most sought after coaches in the game.
His succession of impressive transfer windows, seeking young and characteristic players from the Premier League, has helped to form the foundation of a side that led the table for 248 days of last season before coming unstuck in the final months.
