Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp has confirmed that Spotify owner Daniel Ek has made yet another offer to Stan Kroenke.
Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp has issued a strong message to director Josh Kroenke insisting Daniel Ek is “here to stay”.
The Dutchman is one of three former Arsenal players part of the consortium led by Spotify founder Ek who hopes to buy the north London club. Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira make up the trio of Invincibles backing the plans of the Swedish entrepreneur.
Last week, Ek insisted he had made contact with Kroenke Sports and Entertainment (KSE) with regards to a bid to buy the club.
Bergkamp says Ek has now “reached out twice” to Josh Kroenke, son of Gunners owner Stan.
The former Dutch forward insists Ek is in it for the long haul and hopes to at least speak to the Kroenkes himself.
“We can’t force anyone to sell,” Bergkamp told Dutch outlet VI.
“I understand that, in addition to that offer, Daniel has now reached out twice to Josh Kroenke and his bankers.
“Whatever Kroenke’s intentions are, it would be good if we at least have a conversation with each other. In the interest of the club. Regardless, Daniel is not a quitter and neither are we football boys.
“We are here to stay. The crazy thing is that we cannot imagine how the current players feel.
“Because we have always played for the championship ourselves. We know how the fans feel.
“We have already had a meeting with a supporter delegation. We also sense more and more enthusiasm on their side. That is very stimulating.”
