Arsenal ‘planning’ for life after boss Arsene Wenger as owner Stan Kroenke’s son, Josh, begins three-month visit ahead of club shake up
Arsenal’s ‘catalyst of change’, which is intended to prepare for life after Arsene Wenger, has received fresh impetus with Josh Kroenke, son of owner Stan, moving to London to conduct an in-depth review of all the club activities.
Kroenke, 37, has taken a flat in London for three months and is visiting every section of the club in an attempt to gain a better understanding of how they are run.
It represents a significant change in the Kroenke ownership model, which has previously been criticised for being too remote.

The club insist Kroenke’s visit is not in anticipation of a managerial change this summer, though it is acknowledged that they need to prepare for a future without Wenger.
Club sources say that Kroenke will not be intervening in the running of Arsenal, but wants to gain a deeper understanding of all aspects of the club.
He is also said to be bringing his expertise in the development of an e-sports strategy, comprising the rise of professional gamers and YouTubers, who can now attract 1.5million viewers to their clashes.

The manager’s future remains unclear with the club unlikely to want to start next season with the situation unresolved.
Wenger has conceded that the constant speculation about his future did affect performances last season.
