Arsenal co-owner Josh Kroenke and head coach Mikel Arteta have called Gary Neville the club’s “biggest supporter” in a gift to the former Manchester United defender. The gesture comes after Arsenal were crowned as Premier League champions.
Arsenal claimed the title just over a week ago, when City failed to beat AFC Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium. The Arsenal squad gathered to watch the game at the club’s training ground, with celebrations following the full-time whistle.
The Gunners ended the 22-year wait to get their hands on the Premier League trophy on Sunday when they lifted the silverware following the 2-1 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Arsenal are Premier League champions and fans can celebrate the historic achievement by securing the new 2026/27 home kit with ‘Champions 26’ printing.
The Overlap have done a Champions special edition of the podcast at Arsenal’s training ground. During a chat with Arteta at the training ground, Kroenke made his way over and handed a gift bag to Neville. “On behalf of our entire club, we have a little present,” he said.
When Neville asks if he’ll like it, he replied with: “I think you’ll love it, Gary.”
In the gift were two Arsenal shirts with Wright’s and Neville’s names on the back. Both are signed by Arteta, with the message on Neville’s reading: “Our biggest supporter.”
Arteta then says: “Gary was here a few weeks ago, we spent some time together, we had a coffee, and we had a very good full discussion. So I gave him that shirt, and I said, when we win it please, you have to put it on.
“He didn’t say yes, that was my suggestion, that’s enough.”
Neville responded with: “Thank you so much, that will get framed, it will go in my house, that, Thank you, you deserve it.”
The gift comes after Neville received some criticism from Arsenal fans for allegedly overcelebrating Manchester City’s victory over Liverpool to put pressure on the Gunners in the title race.

Speaking about lifting the title, Arteta said: “It’s been much better than I could ever imagine, it’s been so emotional, so natural, and to see that much joy, happiness and pride around the club, it’s just amazing.
“It’s a lot of joy and relief, when you are able to take the club and make the right steps, and take it really close, it’s great, but it’s not what we’re looking for, and I know at this club, that is not enough. So, to actually do it, it feels amazing and gives a lot of value to a lot of people who have contributed to achieve that.
“Personally, to be a part of delivering something that means so much after 22 years, it’s just incredible.”
