It was a productive summer in the transfer market for Arsenal in the end.

The Gunners brought in Gabriel Martinelli, William Saliba, Dani Ceballos, Nicolas Pepe, Kieran Tierney and David Luiz, despite having a reported initial transfer budget of just £45m.

One of the faces of the club, Josh Kroenke, has been talking about the reasons behind the difference in transfer policy, claiming the performance in the Europa League final, in which they lost 4-1 to Chelsea, caused the change in thinking.

Could Gabriel Martinelli become Arsenal's star striker in the not too distant future? Deluded Gooner thinks so in the video below...

"As the second half of the match unfolded, understanding the position we were in and some of the targets as we headed into the summer from a transfer standpoint, we had to rethink some of our strategy based on that last 45 minutes," he said.

The 39-year-old spoke to BBC Sport about a number of subjects in an extensive interview.

Generally, the Kroenke name is not met with much positivity by the Arsenal fans, and Stan Kroenke in particular has often come under fire. However, it appears that the Gunners supporters are impressed with Josh, and have taken to Twitter to praise him following the interview.
