The Swedish billionaire worth £3.4billion revealed his intentions last week to buy Arsenal amid furious fan protests following the club’s involvement in the failed European Superleague.
According to a report by SunSport, Ek is preparing to test Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke’s resolve by making a takeover offer with the Arsenal legends as part of his takeover team if the bid is accepted.
Kronke, 73, is chairman of Kroenke Sports & Entertainment and joined the Arsenal board in 2008, and it is believed he is open to selling the North London giants for around £2bn.
Further, reports add that should Ek’s offer be accepted by the American, it would see Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira as well Bergkamp return to the Emirates as part of the new set-up.
Prior to Arsenal’s match against Everton, the Spotify owner Ek revealed his desire to buy Arsenal.
He tweeted: “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.”
Ek launched Spotify in 2008, with the platform currently worth around £58bn.
