Mr. Kroenke is on the verge of taking control of the English soccer club Arsenal, one of the game’s most treasured franchises. He owns 29.9 percent of Arsenal and is 17 shares short of reaching 30 percent, a threshold at which he would have to make a bid for the entire team, according to English Premier League rules.
