Arsenal news: New leader behind the scenes, wonderkid transfer, Klopp's advantage over Emery

Only two teams have won their opening two Premier League games.

And they go head-to-head on Saturday.

It's Liverpool vs Arsenal at Anfield and it will be a clear indication, early in the season, of how good the Gunners will be this year.

Klopp already has one up on his counterpart, as we see in our round-up of the biggest Arsenal news stories from the past 24 hours.

Josh Kroenke to the fore

Arsenal fans made their feelings clear during the summer.

The Kroenke Out campaign grew and grew as rumours of a lack of transfer budget gathered pace.

But whether the reports of a lack of money were true and the Arsenal hierarchy stood up and took notice, or there was more money around than first thought, Arsenal fans are more content now.

And it is growing clearer and clearer that the other Kroenke is the man who is running the show now.

Josh Kroenke answered the media's questions in America, and he is now the go-between Raul Sanllehi and his father 'Silent Stan'.

Here's a look at Josh and his work behind the scenes.

Willock's message

Joe Willock has started each of Arsenal's opening two Premier League games and made impressive contributions to victories over Newcastle United and Burnley, earning specific praise from Unai Emery for his performance in the latter.

The 20-year-old enjoyed a remarkable run of form with the Arsenal Under-23 side last season, significantly improving as an attacking threat and scoring 12 goals in 20 games for the youth team and seniors.

And it is no surprise that his impressive form has coincided with Freddie Ljungberg's tutelage.

Willock paid tribute to the Arsenal legend. Here's what he said.

Klopp advantage

Jurgen Klopp already has one up on Unai Emery as the two prepare to do battle at Anfield on Saturday.

It's Liverpool vs Arsenal in the third Premier League game of the season.

And Emery has given Klopp exactly what he wanted, even if it was a bit tongue in cheek.

Find out why Emery's "we never want to play Liverpool" message was just what Klopp wanted to hear.

Wonderkid chase

The transfer window is closed, but that does not stop the rumour mill.

And the latest talk is that Arsenal as among a number of clubs who are chasing one of Europe's finest young talents.

Eduardo Camavinga is a 16-year-old talent playing for Rennes in the French Ligue Un.

Here's what we know about him and the Gunners' chase for him.
