Arteta turns things around

The Kroenke family prioritise financial stability at Arsenal, but manager Mikel Arteta has convinced the club's owners to increase their transfer budget for the summer of 2025.

Arteta has built absolute trust from the Kroenke family.

The Times revealed that Arteta was a key player in convincing the board to increase the transfer budget, despite the Kroenke family's conservative financial philosophy. Arsenal's owners, led by billionaire Stan Kroenke and his son Josh, have owned Arsenal since 2011 and have always maintained a sustainable financial policy.

They prioritise financial self-reliance, strictly adhere to the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), and avoid spending more than the club's revenue. This is demonstrated by Arsenal's focus on developing their youth academy, recruiting high-value but low-risk contracts, and limiting risky investments in expensive stars.

However, coach Arteta has succeeded in convincing the board to increase the transfer budget for the summer of 2025, in order to strengthen the squad and maintain the ambition to compete for titles.

Arsenal's summer 2025 spending is set to surpass £250m, and could hit over £300m this summer. After successfully landing Kepa Arrizabalaga, Christian Norgaard, Martin Zubimendi, Noni Madueke, Arsenal are set to announce two more deals in Cristhian Mosquera and Viktor Gyokeres.

According to The Athletic , Arsenal could make one or two more big-money moves, with Eberechi Eze and Rodrygo in their sights. The decision to increase the summer transfer budget in 2025 promises to be a turning point for Arsenal.

In the past, Arsenal's owners have been repeatedly criticized for being stingy, despite the Kroenke family's net worth continuously increasing thanks to investments in sports teams such as the Los Angeles Rams (American football), Denver Nuggets (basketball), Colorado Avalanche (hockey), Colorado Rapids (football) and Arsenal (soccer).
