ECCLESTONE IN GUNNERS TALKS - REPORT
Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone has reportedly been in negogations with David Dein to make a bid for Arsenal "for weeks".
Ecclestone admitted at the European Grand Prix that he could be interested in buying the Gunners if the price were right amid claims that American billionaire Stan Kroenke was poised to launch a £650million takeover bid.
And according to The Times, talks have been going on "in secret for weeks" with the Gunners' majority shareholder Danny Fiszman and former vice-chairman Dein said to be "the main players".
Just as Ecclestone has been previously considered to be a Chelsea supporter, Dein was thought to have allied himself to Kroenke.
However, The Times claims he would now favour "an all-British takeover" and has reportedly discussed the possibility of selling his 14.6% shareholding to Ecclestone in return for being named chairman when the takeover is sealed. More
