Spotify founder Daniel Ek says his proposed Arsenal takeover is "very serious" and that he has secured funds for a deal.
Arsenal legends Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp and Patrick Vieira have joined his bid but owners Stan and Josh Kroenke say they do not want to sell.
Ek wants to bring a compelling offer and hopes the Kroenkes "hear me out".
"I have secured the funds for it and I want to bring a very compelling offer to the owners and I hope they hear me out.
"I certainly didn't expect this will happen overnight and I am prepared for this to be a long journey.
