Kroenke made the comment after Denver Nuggets lifted their first NBA Championship and ended a 48-year wait for silverware
By Kehinde Okeowo
Arsenal co-chairman, Josh Kroenke, might have inadvertently put Gunners manager, Mikel Arteta under more pressure after telling the Spaniard it’s his turn to win the English Premier League (EPL) title.
Arteta and his lads have finished in second place behind league champions, Manchester City in the last two seasons.
The Gunners are part of a vast sporting empire owned by Kroenke Sports and Entertainment (KSE).
One of such outfits, the Denver Nuggets lifted their first NBA Championship in June, ending a 48-year wait for silverware.

It followed the scalps of the Los Angeles Rams (NFL), Colorado Avalanche (NHL), Colorado Mammoth (NLL) and Colorado Rapids (MLS).
Overall, teams owned by the Kroenkes won four titles in 18 months.
Of their six teams, only the Gunners winning the Premier League remains to complete the syndicate.
Speaking after Denver Nuggets finally crossed the hurdle, Josh was quoted by Mail Sport to have told Arteta through a text message that it is his turn to win a Premier League title.
