Ek reveals Arsenal takeover bid rejected by Kroenke but Spotify founder remains interested in buying Gunners

Spotify founder and CEO Daniel Ek has revealed that he made an offer for control of Arsenal that was turned down by club director Josh Kroenke.

A possible takeover from Ek has been mooted since the Kroenkes came under fire in the wake of the Super League debacle.

But it appears that the family is determined to retain control of the Gunners despite fan opposition to their continued presence at the Emirates Stadium.

What has been said?

"Inaccurate reports emerged today saying I have not made a bid for Arsenal Football Club," Ek wrote on his official Twitter account on Saturday.
