Stan Kroenke set for Arsenal takeover deal Stan Kroenke is poised to launch a full takeover for Arsenal after agreeing deals to buy shares owned by Danny Fiszman and Lady Nina Bracewell Smith. The American businessman already owns 29.9% of the north London club. BBC Sport understands that he is to acquire the 16.1% owned by Fiszman and the 15.9% owned by Lady Nina for around £11,000 a share, or £225m. That will give him 62% and control of the Gunners and means he must offer to buy out all the remaining shareholders. At that price, the club has a market value of around £750m. With Arsenal carrying debts of £147m, the deals value the club at £900m. |
