Josh Kroenke is becoming a growing influence at Arsenal, so much so that he has spent much of the past month in London conducting a review of all aspects of the club.

With his father Stan - the majority shareholder at the Emirates - now 70 years old it is widely understood that Josh will at some point in the near future take the reigns at the Emirates, possibly replacing Sir Chips Keswick at chairman.

The 37-year-old has not revealed any specific timeframe for his visit to other members of the board, but he has made it known he will be reviewing all areas of the club's activities to gain a better understanding of how things operate.

That includes spending time learning about the history of Arsenal, exploring the community services that are run out of the Emirates, overseeing the work taking place at the academy, as well as the commercial set up.

There are plenty who believe Josh’s visit is so he can keep a close eye on Arsene Wenger ahead of a decision over the manager’s future, but Arsenal are adamant that it has been pencilled in for over year and that his stay in London in ‘nothing dramatic’.

Most of Kroenke’s work is done in the United States, specifically in Colorado - where he is president of the Colorado Avalanche NHL franchise and the Denver Nuggets in the NBA.

But in a bid to learn more about the sports industry, he moves across the KSE network to spend time with all the franchises. He is with Arsenal right now, but he has recently spent time in Los Angeles with the LA Rams.

And speaking on the Woj Pod podcast, he has revealed how impressed he was with Sean McVay, the 32-year-old coach who was appointed last year by his father Stan who has helped transform the under-performing NFL side.

“I was hanging round the Rams this fall seeing what Sean McVay is doing there,” said Krorenke. “Sean is a great communicator, he understands what the players want to hear in the moment on an individual and a group basis and he continues to challenge them in new ways while making it fun.

“I think that is one of the core principles of who I am as a person and who are businesses are, especially in these sport business. I always tell our front office guys, look at the end of the day if we’re not having fun, we’re in the wrong business and we should all figure out something else to do.”

Having spent time in LA, Kroenke then jetted to England to start his review of all things Arsenal.

He arrived in January to oversee the end of the transfer window, spending deadline day at London Colney as deal for Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang took place.

“It’s all different, but it’s all fruit to fruit,” Krorenke told the Woj Pod, when asked how things worked with teams across the KSE network. “Whether you are sitting in on transfer deadline day at the Arsenal training facility like I did a few weeks ago or you’re sitting in the trade deadline room of the NBA.

“It’s similar conversations and it can all be compared and contrasted. The wants and need are all very similar.”

He added: “We have a saying over at Arsenal, victory through harmony.

"I think that victory through harmony can take a lot of different meanings, but for me victory through harmony comes from communication.

“You got to have open and honest dialogue about the reality that we are on because if we are sugar coating anything about ourselves, about our team, about our direction, we’re only kidding ourselves and we’re only going to be worse off for it in the long run."
