Arsenal Director Josh Kroenke has disclosed that conceding four goals in the UEFA Europa League final against London rivals Chelsea transformed the Gunners approach to recruitment of new players. He praised the club’s staff for ‘working their magic’ during the transfer window.
Stan Kroenke, the father to Josh Kroenke was criticized by the club’s supporters who called on the directors to reinvigorate the Club.
Arsenal lost 4-1 to Chelsea in the final that was played in Azerbaijan in May. The loss ensured that Arsenal will be playing in the Europa League for the third consecutive football season. According to Josh Kroenke, this is what led to Arsenal becoming one of the highest spenders in the transfer market.
The players signed by Arsenal include:
- Nicolas Pepe from Lille
- William Saliba from Saint Etienne
- Kieran Tierney from Celtic
- David Luiz from Chelsea
- Gabriel Martinelli from Ituano
- Daniel Ceballos from Real Madrid on loan
