Arsenal's owners, the Kroenke family, insist they "are not selling any stake" in the Premier League club.

There has been talk of a takeover from Swedish billionaire Daniel Ek in recent days.

The co-founder and chief executive of music streaming service Spotify has enlisted club legends Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp and Patrick Vieira to help him try and purchase the club.

"In recent days we have noted media speculation regarding a potential takeover bid for Arsenal Football Club," read a statement released by Kroenke Sports & Entertainment (KSE).

"We remain 100 per cent committed to Arsenal and are not selling any stake in the club. We have not received any offer and we will not entertain any offer.

"Our ambition for Arsenal remains to compete to win the biggest trophies in the game and our focus remains on improving our competitiveness on the pitch to achieve this."
