Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is standing by owner San Kroenke.
Arteta has backed the Kroenkes ownership of the club and says he “cannot control” speculation linking Swedish billionaire Daniel Ek with a supposed takeover of the Gunners.
“I cannot control the speculation and what is going on,” he said ahead of Thursday’s Europa League semi-final against Villarreal.
“What I like to know and talk about is the reality. We have owners that are really committed and want a successful team on the pitch, and will do everything they can to achieve that.”
When pressed on his discussions with the Kroenkes over transfers, he added: “It’s always been part of the discussion. What I can tell you is they want to do their best to have a really successful Arsenal on the pitch.”
