Daniel Ek, the CEO and founder of music streaming service Spotify, said on Friday that he would be interested in buying Premier League club Arsenal if under-fire American owner Stan Kroenke wanted to sell the north London outfit. Thousands of Arsenal fans gathered outside Emirates Stadium ahead of the Premier League game against Everton to protest against Kroenke following the north London club's part in the failed attempt to form a breakaway European Super League. 'WE WANT KROENKE OUT' Premier League games continue to be held behind closed doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic but Arsenal supporters were out in force around the stadium on Friday, lighting flares and chanting "We want Kroenke out" and "Get out of our club". Another Arsenal fan, Mark Hamblin, added: "It's important that we come up here for a peaceful protest to show that we are against that league and we are against owners like Stan Kroenke."
