Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke will reportedly reject any new bid from Spotify founder Daniel Ek to buy the club.
Sportsmail exclusively revealed on Wednesday that the Swedish billionaire is preparing to increase his takeover bid to more than £2billion following his unsuccessful opening offer of £1.8bn last month.
Ek previously claimed that under-fire Gunners owner Kroenke had told him that his family 'didn't need the money' when he tried to buy the club last time.
However, sources close to the Ek camp disclosed that a second bid 'north of £2bn' is being readied and that they 'are not going anywhere and want to get a deal done'.
