Arsenal have since been linked with a host of players, including Real Madrid's
Karim Benzema and Lille duo Eden Hazard and Gervinho, amid talk of a widespread squad reshaping exercise.
The club's new owner has now revealed he is happy to give the green light to some signings, but indicated Arsene Wenger's prudent approach in the transfer market would continue to influence thinking in The Emirates boardroom.
Kroenke said: 'The club has funds to invest and will do so wisely. Our constant aim will be to compete for silverware and championships.

team will be working hard to achieve success for the club and our fans.'

sports tycoon has now been granted Premier League approval for the takeover, and has given 14 days notice of the closure of the unconditional offer to shareholders.
