According to ESPN, Mathieu Flamini will not be a part of Daniel Ek’s plans at Arsenal.
Spotify founder Ek tweeted on Friday that he is a boyhood Arsenal fan and would love to buy the club from Stan Kroenke.
Kroenke is under huge pressure having invoked the ire of Arsenal fans with his plans to drag the club in the European Super League last week.
Fans want him out, and Ek has offered a potential alternative – and his allegedly plan has got Arsenal fans very excited.
The Telegraph claim that Ek wants to have Patrick Vieira, Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry on board, bringing back the Invincibles trio in an exciting new era.
However, ESPN claim that Flamini will not be involved despite murmurings that he would join the group in taking over Arsenal.
Ex-Gunners midfielder Flamini doesn’t quite have the same standing as Vieira, Bergkamp or Henry, but he has built up an impressive reputation as an entrepreneur since ending his playing career.
Flamini co-founded GF Biochemicals, who had the honour of being the first company in the world to mass-produce levulinic acid.
Flamini’s net worth is thought to be around £20million according to Goal, which means he wouldn’t push Ek all that much closer to meeting Kroenke’s demands.
He may be a fine businessman, but Flamini seemingly won’t be on hand to offer more support to Ek in his attempts to buy Arsenal.
