Arsenal has appointed a new marketing director as part of the restructuring of the Premier League club initiated by chief executive Ivan Gazidis.

Arsenal promoted Angus Kinnear to the role after he spent five years as head of marketing.

The north London club said Thursday it is also hiring four more executives to bolster its commercial activities.

Arsenal is seeking to boost its revenue from marketing and compete for international recognition with the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea.

Former Major League Soccer deputy commissioner Gazidis says the appointments "will help us to drive our business forward and expand our global reach."
