Arsenal co-chairman Josh Kroenke is expected to attend the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City at Wembley Stadium

Arsenal co-chairman Josh Kroenke is reportedly planning to attend this weekend's Carabao Cup final against Manchester City. The Gunners will face City at Wembley Stadium as they aim to conclude their lengthy trophy drought.

Mikel Arteta's squad enter the fixture having overcome Bayer Leverkusen in their Champions League last-16 encounter earlier this week, while City suffered defeat against Real Madrid.

Arsenal continue their pursuit of all four major honours this season and talk of a potentially historic quadruple has been raised in the lead-up to the Carabao Cup final.

Prior to the match, BBC Sport reported that Josh Kroenke has travelled to London from the United States and is expected to watch Arsenal take on City at Wembley.

The report also suggests that there is a possibility that Stan Kroenke, founder of the Kroenke Sports and Entertainment, could also attend Arsenal's visit to Wembley.

It has been suggested that Stan Kroenke could make the journey if his schedule permits, and it has not yet been dismissed that the Arsenal owner could be in attendance for the showpiece occasion on Sunday afternoon.

While the attention for Arsenal will be on this weekend's cup final, the report also delivers an update on prospective transfer strategies for the summer.

The report says that while Josh Kroenke is in London, he will meet with Arsenal's sporting director Andrea Berta to discuss plans for the upcoming transfer window.

Though it's still uncertain which players Arsenal will target in the summer, the Gunners are reportedly prepared to invest in additional new signings, with a new midfielder, left winger and a full-back pinpointed by the club.

The Carabao Cup final will be Arsenal's final match before the March international break, with the Premier League taking a pause for the next month.

Arsenal will resume action on April 4 when they journey to Southampton for the FA Cup quarter-final, before facing Sporting Lisbon in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final a few days later.

The next time Arsenal will participate in a Premier League match will be on Saturday, April 11, at home against Bournemouth.
