Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp and Patrick Vieira are reportedly involved in talks with Daniel Ek over the possibility of buying out Arsenal from Stan Kroenke.

Swedish billionaire Daniel Ek reportedly plans to enlist a trio of Arsenal legends in his bid to buy the club off current owner Stan Kroenke.

Ek, who is the co-founder and chief executive of music streaming service Spotify, first expressed an interest in taking over the Gunners last week.

The 38-year-old made the comments after more than a thousand supporters protested outside the Emirates Stadium against Kroenke's ownership in wake of the European Super League furore.

Sky Sports News reports that Ek is serious about his plans to purchase the club and has already reached out to three 'Invincibles' members.

Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp and Patrick Vieira are all said to be interested in helping out, though Arsenal director Josh Kroenke has insisted the club is not for sale.

Ek grew up supporting Arsenal and is worth £3.38bn, according to American business magazine Forbes.
