Arsenal: Stan Kroenke says Arsenal 'are not, and have never been, for sale'

Arsenal majority shareholder Stan Kroenke says his shares "are not, and have never been, for sale".

The American's company released a statement on Monday following the recent £1bn bid by Alisher Usmanov to take full control of the Gunners.

Kroenke Sports and Entertainment added it was "a committed, long-term investor in Arsenal and will remain so".

The statement comes a day after Arsenal failed to qualify for the Champions League for the first time in 20 years.

Usmanov owns 30% of shares in the club but is not part of the board or decision-making at the club.
