So is Arsenal an english team or not?

The current premier league features a dominance of a "Top 4" teams. Even though the league is played in England and belongs to the English but how English are the teams are.

Out of the 4 clubs, less than half of their first XI are Englishman.

Manchester United and Liverpool are owned by US owners while Chelsea is owned by a Russian. Only Arsenal is still in the hands of Englishmen and their fans.

When Arsenal won beautifully in Europe, the British media proudly claims an English team made it good. When England loses, the media will claim that its failure is due to international team like Arsenal causing it to fail.

So who is actually an English team when the owners are not even an Englishman and half the squad is not an Englishman also?
