One of the best ways to earn money in the football world is to extend your brand further than just football. Creating additional revenue streams is a key part of financial growth, especially if KSE doesn’t start to invest. Spoiler alert, they won’t.

With the prevalence of staying at home due to a global pandemic, an Esports team is exactly what Arsenal should invest in. Kids from around the world could see their favorite gamers and Esports players bossing the internet, all while wearing the famous red-and-white. It would also grow our fanbase significantly in the future, another excellent source of revenue.

We could capitalize on tournament prize money, marketing and brand deals, sponsorships, and increased online footprint. Many professional athletes, including Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero, are exceedingly popular with fans across the world for live streaming their gaming exploits for the world to see. Arsenal could take that obsession to the next level.

Ian Wright, a familiar name to most of us I hope, has continued his fame after retiring from football, mostly by participating in events around the world. His voice has grown increasingly loud as people have turned to the internet, and he would be the perfect host and spokesperson for such a team. He’s funny, charismatic, and he lives and breathes Arsenal.

Casting our financial net wider is never a bad idea, and it would increase Arsenal’s popularity too. I can smell the money already.
