The financial backing for Mikel Arteta shows the Arsenal owner are becoming more open to splashing the cash in north London.
According to talkSPORT reporter Alex Crook, Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke has made the decision to heavily back Mikel Arteta in the transfer market.
The North London club have spent big during the early stages of the summer window despite missing out on Champions League qualification last season.
They recently signed Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City after a £45million deal was agreed with the reigning Premier League winners.
The Gunners were not afraid to splash the cash on Fabio Vieira either, with the central midfielder joining from Porto for a fee which could rise to £34.26 million.
Mikel Arteta has also been preparing for the future by acquiring Marquinhos from Brazilian outfit Sao Paulo.
The talkSPORT journalist feels the financial backing shows the Arsenal owner are becoming more open to splashing the cash in north London.
Crook told GIVEMESPORT: “They are close to spending £300million in the last two summer transfer windows.
“Considering that the Arsenal fans, not that long ago, were really unhappy with the lack of investment from the Kroenkes, I think there’s been a definite change of tact.
“I didn’t expect Mikel Arteta – having missed out on the top four – to be quite as well backed this summer as he was last, but clearly I’ve been proven wrong.”
CBS reporter Ben Jacobs has told GIVEMESPORT that Arsenal have already agreed on personal terms with Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans, while the north Londoners are also keeping tabs on Serge Gnabry’s contract situation at Bayern Munich.
