Spotify co-founder Daniel Ek said Saturday a formal offer to buy Arsenal had been rejected by the Premier League club's American owners. In a statement on Twitter, the Swedish tycoon said the club's owners, Kroenke Sports, had rebuffed his bid, saying they did not need the money from a sale. "This week an offer was made to Josh Kroenke and their bankers that that included fan ownership, representation at the board and a golden share for the supporters," Ek said. "They replied that they don't need the money. I remain interested should that situation ever change." rcw/bb
