With things going well off the pitch, supporters have also been boosted by this latest news off it.
Kroenke, 75, bought 9.9 per cent shares in Arsenal 16 years ago, before purchasing the club outright for £731million in 2011.
Supporters previously protested against the American’s ownership, campaigning for “Kroenke Out” with marches and banners.
But those protests have largely disappeared since Mikel Arteta’s side started winning.
As per Forbes Kroenke, who also owns NFL franchise the Los Angeles Rams and the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche, is now worth an eye-watering £10.8bn.
Following the news, some Gunners fans have started dreaming of who Arsenal could splash the cash on this summer.
One wrote: “We are buying Mbappe, Rice, Leao and Onsimhen in the summer”
A second tweeted: “In the wake of such news… I want Rice, Mount, Leao/Khvicha and Fresneda.”

While a third joked: “Go get mbappe next season to wash your sin.”
Another added: “Gotta give the Kroenke’s credit where its due. They’ve been backing Arteta and Edu with what they need. Arteta/Edu just know what they’re willing to pay, and it’s working.”
The Gunners have spent £320m on transfers across the last two seasons.
Last summer they recruited Manchester City duo Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko – as well as Fabio Vieira, Jakub Kiwior Matt Turner and Marquinhos – and Leandro Trossard and Jorginho in January.
