Arsenal Fans Furious as Club Makes No Major Deadline-Day Signing While Kroenke Acquires Team

According to overseas media reports on September 2 Beijing time, a group led by businessman Kroenke has reached a deal worth around £3 billion to acquire the Los Angeles Angels, who are currently at the bottom of the American League West in Major League Baseball. The announcement came on the Premier League transfer deadline day, and Arsenal made no major move on the final day of the window, leaving many Gunners fans angry.

This summer, Arsenal owner Kroenke provided financial backing for several major signings, including the £75 million acquisition of Guimaraes and the £55 million signing of Konsa from Aston Villa. However, fans remain dissatisfied, believing that the billionaire owner has not invested enough in Arsenal's recruitment.

The 79-year-old Kroenke controls multiple sports assets. In addition to Arsenal and the Angels, his company also holds stakes in the NFL's Los Angeles Rams, the NHL's Colorado Avalanche, and MLS's Colorado Rapids. Seeing him acquire another team, Arsenal supporters were clearly unhappy.

One fan commented: "Kroenke buys another team but won't buy an attacking player for Arsenal."

One fan complained: "Was our club's transfer budget used for this instead?" Another fan joked: "At least they managed to get one thing done on transfer deadline day." Another supporter said: "Everyone, take a look, this is our transfer deadline-day achievement."

Fans at the Emirates Stadium had originally hoped Atletico Madrid star Alvarez would join. Arsenal and Barcelona had previously been competing for the player. However, the Argentine star was determined to move to Barcelona, while Atletico Madrid refused to complete a deal with their city rivals. Arsenal also failed to seize the opportunity to make a late move, and the team's main attacking signing this summer was ultimately Tzolis.
