Patrick Vieira insists Daniel Ek is 'DEFINITELY going to try again' to buy Arsenal after £1.8bn bid was rejected by the Kroenkes... believing the club 'will be in a difficult position' if there is no change of ownership

Patrick Vieira insists Swedish billionaire Daniel Ek will bid again to buy Arsenal after his opening offer of £1.8billion was rejected by the Kroenke family.

The Spotify founder revealed earlier this month that he did make an offer to buy the club after suggestions there had been no approach, but added he was told by Kroenke Sports & Entertainment that they 'didn't need the money'.

Vieira - along with former Gunners team-mates Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry - have publicly backed Ek's bid, with the ex-club captain telling Sportsmail at the weekend the club need new direction having 'lost their identity' in recent years.
