Apr 29 2021

Spotify’s founder and CEO Daniel Ek has expressed that he is “very serious” about purchasing Arsenal, despite current owner Kroenke ruling out the sale of the English football club.

As a kid growing up, I’ve cheered for @Arsenal as long as I can remember. If KSE would like to sell Arsenal I'd be happy to throw my hat in the ring.

— Daniel Ek (@eldsjal) April 23, 2021

Ek first took to Twitter to express his desire to purchase the club, stating that he has been a fan since childhood and has now stated to have a “very compelling offer” for the club, going on to highlight that he has secured funding for the purchase.

As it stands, Arsenal’s current ownership has maintained its position that it is not selling a stake, reiterating their commitment to the club.
