Arsenal director Josh Kroenke says he's determined for manager Mikel Arteta to prove a success.

Kroenke oversaw the appointment of Arteta in 2019.

Discussing the Gunners support, Kroenke told the Daily Mail: "The more we get to know each other, the only thing it's going to do is strengthen our relationship.

"There's scepticism, I don't know if I'll ever be embraced with open arms. But to unite the global Arsenal fan base around a young manager and a young squad, would be one of the more powerful and rewarding experiences of my life."

On the team's revival this season, Kroenke also stated: "There were never any doubts on my part. There was always going to be a tough transition. And as long as we understood that and stayed together there was never any doubt in my mind. There were only words of encouragement going on behind the scenes.

"Mikel recently was commenting on how there's a point in time when doubt is a natural thought process that comes in but we all put our arms round each other and we only encouraged each other. The power of positivity got us through some very dark moments. And with the work ethic of everyone in this building [the London Colney training ground], with the power of positivity, we've come through it and everyone is stronger for it."
