Ek, co-founder and chief executive of music streaming service Spotify, has enlisted three of Arsenal‘s legendary ‘Invincibles’ to help him purchase the club from current owner Stan Kroenke.

Ek first expressed interest in buying the club last week after fans protested outside the Emirates Stadium against Kroenke’s ownership and his involvement in the failed breakaway European Super League.

According to Forbes, Ek is worth £3.38bn (€4.7bn). He was also named the most influential person in the music business by the American magazine Billboard in 2017.
