Arsenal owners promise to strengthen squad even if double is achieved in Budapest
Josh Kroenke says there will be no ‘standing still’
Extending Mikel Arteta’s contract the ‘utmost priority’
Josh Kroenke has promised that Arsenal intend to strengthen their squad even if they are crowned European champions for the first time and said rewarding Mikel Arteta with a new contract is an “utmost priority”.
Arsenal, who face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final in Budapest on Saturday, spent more than £250m last summer on players who helped them win a first Premier League title for 22 years. Kroenke and his father, Stan, the club’s American owners and co-chairs, watched Arsenal at Crystal Palace on Sunday and brought the trophy on to the pitch before it was presented to the captain, Martin Ødegaard. They are also expected at Saturday’s match.
