- BREAKING NEWS: Arsenal Owner Issues Stern Warning to Mikel Arteta
Tensions are reportedly brewing behind the scenes at Arsenal, as club owner Stan Kroenke has allegedly issued a final warning to manager Mikel Arteta regarding his team selections.
According to circulating reports, Kroenke is said to be furious about Arteta’s continued decision to bench a key Arsenal player, one he personally invested heavily in during the transfer window. The American billionaire reportedly expressed his frustration in strong terms, saying:
> “This will be the last time I’m sounding this warning to Arteta. The next time I see him on the bench, that day Arteta will leave my club. I know how much I spent to sign him.”
These statements, though unverified by official club sources, have caused a storm among Arsenal fans online. Many supporters are now speculating about which player Kroenke was referring to — with suggestions ranging from big-money signings such as Declan Rice, Viktor Gyokeres, or Gabriel Jesus, depending on recent team lineups.
The report implies that Kroenke wants Arteta to prioritize playing the club’s top investments, especially in crucial Premier League fixtures, to justify the club’s spending and maintain Arsenal’s title ambitions this season.
Observers believe this may be a message of impatience from the ownership, especially considering the amount of money poured into strengthening the squad. Arsenal fans have also been vocal on social media, echoing the sentiment that Arteta’s rotation policy could be hurting the team’s rhythm and results.
While neither Arsenal nor Kroenke has officially commented on these claims, it has added a new layer of pressure on Arteta, who is already under scrutiny to deliver major silverware this season.
For now, the big question remains:
👉 Which player has the Arsenal boss been warned not to bench again?
Until more details emerge, fans will be watching Arsenal’s next lineup very closely — because, as the report dramatically states:
> “Arteta really needs to stop benching him to save his own job.”
