An official announcement of a takeover bid for Arsenal could come within a matter of days, ITV report.
Daniel Ek is thought to want to buy Arsenal, with club legends like Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp and Patrick Vieira all backing him up.
The Spotify founder announced his intentions to buy Arsenal from Stan Kroenke earlier this week.
And it now seems that an announcement of his bid is close.
Ek’s first bid for Arsenal is set to stand at £1.8 billion, with Kroenke under pressure to accept.
All noises have suggested that the American owner is determined to stay, despite mounting pressure on him to leave.
However, the rumours of a potential takeover are really gathering pace now, and the news that an announcement is imminent will seriously excite Arsenal fans.
Ek will have to win over the trust of the Gunners, but he is thought to be a genuine Arsenal supporter.
With the backing of club legends such as Henry he should immediately form a connection with the fans too.
The Kroenkes have been rather quiet in public ever since taking charge, with Arsenal supporters never feeling a true connection with their owners.
And if Arsenal could find new owners it would surely give the club some much needed positivity about the future once again.
