Arsenal chief Vinai Venkatesham spent Wednesday calling rival Premier League execs to apologise for his club's actions with regards to the failed European Super League.

The Gunners were one of six English clubs to sign up for the controversial scheme, but following a huge backlash from the footballing world they sensationally withdrew from the plans on Tuesday.

The Telegraph says Venkatesham has acted early to try to placate some of the anger that has been directed towards his club.

The publication claim he rang the executives of all 14 teams not involved in the European Super League to say sorry and ask for forgiveness.

The talks were described as largely 'awkward', but it is believed the sentiment was appreciated by the majority.

It comes after Arsenal were the first of the six teams to officially say sorry to their supporters for their actions.
