Gunners fans were left raving about their summer transfer business after landing Nicolas Pepe, Kieran Tierney, David Luiz, Gabriel Martinelli and hot prospect William Saliba.
Kroenke have come under heavy criticism from supporters over his lack of investment into the team over the years since taking charge of the club.
Club supporters’ groups assembled to write a strongly-worded letter back in July that took aim at the American billionaire’s ‘passive ownership’, branded him ‘absent’ and claimed he was using the club as an ‘investment vehicle’.
But, according to the Daily Mirror’s John Cross, leaders in the football finance industry are ‘convinced’ the American sports tycoon injected his own cash into the club to boost their coffers this summer.
Ahead of the transfer window, it was widely claimed manager Unai Emery only had £40million to play with.
But Arsenal exceeded fan expectations by making a number of big signings – including the club-record £73m arrival of Pepe from Lille.
