The Gunners moved to their 60,704-seater stadium during Arsene Wenger’s reign in 2006 but are now looking to increase capacity beyond 70,000.



As part of their renovation works, Arsenal are looking to modernise the Emirates Stadium and increase capacity by changing the gradient of the stands in order to hold more fans. The expansion would mean that Arsenal would boast the biggest Premier League ground in London ahead of Tottenham’s stadium which can hold 62,850 supporters, and West Ham’s London Stadium, which has a capacity of 62,500.
