Arsenal co-chair Josh Kroenke says stadium upgrades have been opened

Arsenal's owners have revealed they've opened discussions around upgrading their home stadium, the Emirates.

The club's co-chair, Josh Kroenke has said there have been 'internal discussions' about renovations to the stadium.

Repairs to the stadium's roof and the replacements of the giant screens inside the ground have already taken place, but fans will be hoping further upgrades to facilities could be on the cards.

It's believed conversations around expanding the Emirates' current 60,000-seat capacity have been mooted, as the club looks to keep up with the huge demand for tickets. 

Arsenal's stadium could be set for upgrades in the coming year, according to club bosses

Speaking to ESPN, Kroenke said: 'It would be premature to talk about any plans in depth, but the internal conversations are starting to occur about [the stadium]. 

'It is not an easy renovation, but we see the possibilities of what's there. 

'Our goal was always to compete for the Premier League title because if you look around the world, if you are competing for the title year-in, year-out, you are competing for everything else.

'What can our fans expect? Everything they've gotten in the last few years. We're going to keep adding to the group.

'I know Mikel's energy is through the roof in the best of ways. 

'In our women's team as well, you see how women's sport is taking off around the world. We are really excited about that part of the business.'

The stadium opened in 2006 around the height of manager Arsene Wenger's reign, with the club moving a short distance from their former ground, Highbury.
