Arsenal Owner Stan Kroenke Sets Ambitious Long-Term Trophy Target for Unai Emery

Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke has set manager Unai Emery the long-term target of winning the Champions League, although he accepts qualifying for Europe’s elite competition will be difficult this season.

In Arsene Wenger’s final season in charge of the Gunners, they finished a disappointing sixth in the Premier League and will be looking to improve upon that performance this season.

And despite losing their first two games of the Premier League season, they have shown signs of progression under their new manager - picking up their first three points last weekend with a comfortable 3-1 win victory over West Ham.
