I have warned Arteta to sell Him before now but it seems He’s not giving it a listening ear, I cannot be paying such huge amount of money for Him weekly and you expect me to bring In another Striker,No Way”, Stan Kroenke strongly warns Arteta to sell $350k a week Arsenal player if they really want Him to release funds for new striker this summer ARTETA TO DECIDE IN THE COMING DAYS

Arsenal’s transfer plans have been thrown into fresh uncertainty after club owner Stan Kroenke delivered a stern message to manager Mikel Arteta during a tense internal meeting — making it clear that unless a high-earning player is offloaded, there will be no financial backing for a new striker this summer.

Speaking during a press conference earlier today, Kroenke did not mince his words, addressing growing speculation about Arsenal’s stalled striker hunt and frustration among supporters.

“I have warned Arteta to sell him before now, but it seems he’s not giving it a listening ear,” Kroenke fired. “I cannot be paying such a huge amount of money — $350,000 a week — for him, and you expect me to release more funds to bring in another striker. No way.”

Although Kroenke stopped short of naming the player, insiders close to the Emirates suggest the figure points directly to Gabriel Jesus, who reportedly sits within that wage bracket and has faced criticism for inconsistent performances and injury concerns. The Brazilian striker has struggled to consistently deliver the goal return expected of a leading Arsenal No.9.

The American billionaire’s comments come amid mounting pressure on Arsenal to sign a top-class striker this summer, with names like Viktor Gyökeres, Victor Osimhen, and Alexander Isak reportedly on Arteta’s shortlist. However, with the club’s wage bill among the highest in the Premier League and financial fair play regulations tightening, Kroenke appears unwilling to greenlight any major deal until the wage structure is addressed.

“If we want to build a team capable of challenging for titles, tough decisions must be made. You can’t keep paying for underperformance and expect progress,” Kroenke added sharply.

Reports from inside the club suggest Arteta has been left frustrated by the ownership’s stance but has accepted that a decision on the player’s future must be made within days if Arsenal hopes to act swiftly in the market before their preferred striker targets are snapped up by rival clubs.

The Arsenal boss is expected to meet with the player’s representatives and sporting director Edu Gaspar this week to determine the next step, with options ranging from a permanent sale to loan offers from clubs in Saudi Arabia and Serie A.

This public warning from Kroenke signals a power shift within Arsenal’s hierarchy as the owner looks to assert stricter financial discipline while demanding results.
