Stan Kroenke 'thrilled' with Arsenal summer market campaign

Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke is delighted with their summer market campaign.

Although the signings of Gabriel Martinelli, Dani Ceballos (loan), William Saliba, Nicolas Pepe, Kieran Tierney and David Luiz cost well in excess of £100m, much of that outlay will be paid by way of instalments over the course of their contracts.

Asked what his father's reaction had been, club chief Josh Kroenke told BBC Sport: "He is thrilled. As we've had a chance to get to know some of the new faces more and more behind the scenes and he's had a chance to be around them individually, he's excited.

"The hard part is staying patient and understanding that we're putting plans in place that are going to unfold over the next several years. We've done it with our North American teams and we're trying to implement those type of people and decision makers here at Arsenal. I think this summer is a great example of the quality of people that we have."
