Briefly

Arsenal's new Hollywood board member - who is Ben Winston?
"Film producer Ben Winston was added as a non-executive director at Arsenal as the club reshuffled the boardroom following the departure of executive vice chair Tim Lewis. Richard Garlick has been promoted to CEO while Kelly Blaha and Otto Maly from Kroenke Sports & Entertainment (KSE), join as non-executive directors alongside Dave Steiner. American Stan Kroenke acquired a 9.9% stake in Arsenal in 2007, becoming majority shareholder in 2011 and assuming 100% ownership in 2018."
"Winston, 43, has been a season ticket holder at the club for more than 30 years, and says he started supporting Arsenal when he was around 'five or six' before going to his first match aged nine. He has had an interesting and successful life and his father is Baron Robert Winston, the world famous fertility doctor and scientist. But it is Winston's success as a film and TV producer which makes his appointment to the Arsenal board so interesting."
