JAKARTA - Founder of music streaming service Spotify, Daniel Ek expressed his interest in buying Premier League football club Arsenal. The news comes amid a wave of protests from Arsenal fans over plans for the European Super League.

In the midst of the Arsenal fans' anger, Daniel Ek appeared, who claimed to have liked the Gunners since he was a child and wanted to acquire the North London club.

"As a child growing up, I have supported Arsenal for a long time. If KSE (Kroenke Sports Enterprises) wants to sell Arsenal, I will be happy to participate", Ek said on his Twitter account on Saturday.

As a result, Arsenal supporters urged Stan Kroenke to release ownership of the club. Given that fan, frustration peaked when club officials actually initiated a controversial tournament at a time when the Gunners' achievements were decreasing.

During the Kroenke era, Arsenal was only able to collect four FA Cups and was always left out of the race for the Premier League title. Lately, the Gunners' achievements have continued to decline, threatened to finish outside the top four for five consecutive seasons.

Boss Spotify's net worth

Daniel Ek himself is the figure behind the name Spotify. Through the streaming music platform it launched in 2008, Spotify is now worth more than £ 56 million or around IDR 1.1 trillion.

The man from Sweden who claims to be an Arsenal fan is estimated to have a wealth of around £ 3 billion or equivalent to IDR 60.4 trillion. With such a fortune, Ek was more than enough to acquire the North London club.
