Josh Kroenke is set to attend Arsenal’s League Cup final against Manchester City on Sunday, and there are indications his father Stan might too.
Sami Mokbel reports for the BBC that Arsenal co-chairman Josh Kroenke has flown in from the United States for Sunday’s League Cup final between Arsenal and Manchester City.
Mokbel adds that there are indications that Stan Kroenke could also attend the game, if his schedule allows for it.
Stan is the founder of Kroenke Sports and Entertainment, who own Arsenal, though Josh is the one with the greater involvement in running the club in recent years.
Mokbel also reports that Josh is likely to meet with Mikel Arteta and Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta to discuss plans for the summer transfer window, with the club likely to try and balance new signings with some sales to supplement that spending.
The Gunners are reportedly interested in signing a full-back, a central midfielder, and a left winger this summer, as well as addressing Arteta’s own contract situation.
The Arsenal manager’s current deal runs out in 2027, but if things continue to go well on the pitch, everyone would presumably want to see his stay extended.
Josh Kroenke has made increasingly frequent visits to London for Arsenal matches in recent years, but Stan Kroenke remains only an occasional attendee.
It will be interesting to see whether they’re both at Wembley on Sunday afternoon, and whether they return for any potential further cup finals or title deciders later this season.
