Ek ready to make Kroenke 'very compelling' Arsenal offer, saying he has 'secured the funds'

The billionaire owner of Spotify remains hopeful Kroenke Sports & Entertainment will 'hear him out' as he bids for control of the Gunners

Daniel Ek wants to bring Arsenal back to its former glories and claims he has secured the funds to make Stan Kroenke a ‘compelling offer’ for the club.

Ek, while speaking to CNBC, added that he was ‘very serious’ about taking over at the club and that he wasn’t put off by Tuesday’s statement from current owners Kroenke Sports & Entertainment (KSE) that they had no intention of selling.

The Swedish billionaire is being supported by Arsenal legends Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp and Patrick Vieira in his bid to take over at Emirates Stadium.
