Three legends have reportedly joined forces with billionaire Spotify founder Daniel Ek as he lines up a potential takeover bid to buy the Arsenal Premier League club.

According to Sky Sports, three members of the team will back the Spotify founder’s bid for a stake in Arsenal. The three members of the premier league club’s iconic 03-04 ‘Invincibles’ team are Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, and Patrick Vieira.

The Swedish billionaire grew up supporting the Gunners. Last week, he tweeted his interest in buying the club:

As a kid growing up, I’ve cheered for @Arsenal as long as I can remember. If KSE would like to sell Arsenal I'd be happy to throw my hat in the ring.
— Daniel Ek (@eldsjal) April 23, 2021

Ek also recently lashed out at club owners following the Super League drama, saying, “they have been running the club like a company, not a football club, and they showed their hand.

He added:

“Maybe it’s a lack of understanding of the core football values and maybe the money was too big of a temptation. But whatever it was, they got it wrong. Badly wrong”

On the other hand, the current owner, American Stan Kroenke, is an unpopular figure among the Arsenal faithful. His popularity dropped further following the recently failed involvement in the Super League breakaway.

Ek is worth an estimated £3.4 billion Euros – a value of the takeover bid has not yet been revealed.

If the Spotify founder is successful in his plan to buy Arsenal, Henry, Vieira and Bergkamp would return to the organisation as part of the new set-up. No doubt that possibility will leave Gunner’s fans salivating.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
