Josh Kroenke has made clear that Arsenal will keep strengthening after winning the Premier League, with the club determined to avoid any sense of complacency after returning to the top of English football.
Speaking on Arsenal’s podcast The Dispatch, alongside Richard Garlick and Mikel Arteta, Kroenke said the title has lifted the club onto a bigger platform, both commercially and competitively.
His message was that Arsenal now have a greater opportunity, but also a bigger target on their back.
“We can’t be complacent in any areas,” he said.

“You know every squad in the league is, if we didn’t have a target on our back before we now, we now have the target, so every side in the league is already trying to strengthen and if we’re not strengthening we’re stagnating or standing still, so we need to keep evolving and just not let complacency come into the picture at any point.”
Kroenke also pointed to the importance of Arsenal’s growing revenues, arguing that the club’s progress off the pitch will help support continued investment on it.
In turn, the success of Arteta’s team on the pitch continues to strengthen the club’s commercial position.
An exciting summer lies ahead.
