Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke has purchased a site in Denver as he aims to add to his company Elitch Gardens' expansive holdings in the Colorado area while he continues to back Mikel Arteta in the transfer market.
Kroenke has shown faith in Arteta over the last 18 months, trusting the Spaniard with £142m to spend last season with the acquisitions of Ben White, Martin Odegaard, Aaron Ramsdale, Takehiro Tomiyasu and others. That was followed up with around £115m in the summer with the likes of Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Fabio Vieira joining the club.
Arsenal have already signed Leandro Trossard from Brighton this Janaury while work is also being done to secure the signature of Jakub Kiwior and Ivan Fresneda. Football.london understands Arsenal have agreed an initial fee of £17.5million - potentially rising to £21m - with Italian side Spezia to sign Kiwior with Arteta having been keen to add a left footed centre-back to his squad as well as defensive midfield cover.
