🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Arsenal Owner Issues Stern Warning to Mikel Arteta Over Team Selection
Tension appears to be rising behind the scenes at Arsenal, with reports suggesting that club owner Stan Kroenke has issued a final warning to manager Mikel Arteta regarding his team selections.
According to viral claims circulating online, Kroenke is said to be furious with Arteta’s continued decision to leave a big-money signing on the bench — a player the owner reportedly views as central to Arsenal’s title ambitions.
The American billionaire allegedly expressed his frustration in no uncertain terms, reportedly 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.”
Though the comments have not been confirmed by official club sources, the story has exploded across social media, with Arsenal fans fiercely debating which player Kroenke was referring to. Speculation points toward high-profile names such as Declan Rice, Viktor Gyökeres, or even Gabriel Jesus, depending on recent starting lineups.
The report suggests Kroenke is demanding that Arteta make full use of the club’s top investments — particularly in key Premier League fixtures — to justify the massive spending and sustain Arsenal’s push for the title.
Many supporters believe the message reflects growing impatience from the ownership, especially given the heavy investment made over recent transfer windows. Fans have also voiced similar frustrations, arguing that Arteta’s rotation policy may be disrupting the team’s rhythm.
So far, neither Arsenal nor Kroenke Sports & Entertainment have issued any statement on the matter, but the rumours have undoubtedly added extra pressure on Arteta — who is already under scrutiny to deliver major silverware this season.
For now, one burning question remains:
👉 Which star player has Arteta been warned not to bench again?
With the Gunners’ next fixture fast approaching, all eyes will be on Arteta’s team sheet — and whether the Arsenal boss heeds his owner’s reported warning.
