Spotify CEO outlines plans for Arsenal takeover bid

Spotify co-founder and CEO Daniel Ek has spoken to CNBC about his plans to buy Arsenal.

The North London club have been majority owned by American billionaire Stan Kroenke since 2011. In that time, they have won four FA Cups, but have struggled to compete for the Premier League or in Europe.

Kroenke has become an unpopular figure at the Emirates Stadium, with many fans believing that he has no interest in the club. Following the recent European Super League debacle, fans protested outside the ground, calling for him to sell his stake in the club.
