Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke has new main priority after $249m transfer spend with Mikel Arteta aim
Stan Kroenke is aiming to keep up his record of winning major honours in American sport as the Arsenal owner watches his NFL side, LA Rams, get down to business when the league returns this weekend.
The Rams,who dropped off massively last season compared to their historic title-winning 2021 campaign, are looking to bounce back after an embarrassing campaign last time out that saw them win just five of their 17 matches. It was the worst season they have had since 2017 and was a long way from the response hoped for.
Although Sean McVay, one of the best coaches in the sport, is in a transition period with the side, there is hope that they can bring together results and performances that better match the franchise's ambition. For Kroenke, their 2021 success was the start of a sensational period for him.
After lifting the Super Bowl, Kroenke, who took over Arsenal as majority shareholder in 2011, also went on to see his NBA franchise, Denver Nuggets, win the championship as well as taking NHL victory with Colorado Avalanche and NLL winnings under Colorado Mammoth.
Arsenal, who finished runners-up in the Premier League last year, are now the outstanding team left to win a major title under Kroenke's Sports and Entertainment (KSE) empire.
The Gunners have become vastly improved in the past 24 months with Kroenke's son, Josh, taking on a key role in the rebuild under popular Spanish manager Mikel Arteta. Josh Kroenke was recently given even more day-to-day responsibility in north London, changing his role at the club as new co-chair along with his father.
