Arsenal America have urged the club to reconsider their stance on joining the European Super League (ESL) in a statement released on their Twitter account.

It was recently confirmed that the Gunners were among the 12 founding clubs of the breakaway league, and this has been met by fierce opposition from fans and former players.

Arsenal America, who are the official supporters’ group for the Gunners in the United States, have now requested the club ‘custodians’ to listen to the supporters.

They indirectly highlighted the NBA, which works on a closed shop model, and emphasised that any move is commercially oriented without keeping the fans in mind.

Former Gunners boss Arsene Wenger left the club in 2018 while emphasising that they should preserve the values. He has now called for unity to oppose the formation of ESL.
