London : Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone has refused to rule out the possibility of a takeover of Arsenal.
The London-based English Premier League club is also the subject of interest from American Stan Kroenke, who already owns 12.2 percent of the Gunners, the nickname given to the team by its fans.
And now Ecclestone may enter the fray, although he admits he has yet to speak to anyone at the club, reports BBC.
The 76-year-old said: "If somebody offers me something I think is good value, I will have a go. I'm interested in anything if it's cheap enough."
Eccelstone, who has amassed a reported three-billion pound fortune over the years knows former Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein, who left the club in acrimonious circumstances in April.
"I obviously talked to David (Dein) when they chucked him out, which I thought was a bit unnecessary, " said Eccelstone.
However, it seems Ecclestone would not be put off by that particular episode – nor would he by his allegiance to Chelsea, who he was interested in buying jointly with Renault boss Flavio Briatore some years ago.
"Flavio and I were interested in Chelsea not so long ago," confirmed Ecclestone. "I do go to Chelsea. Flav and I went to matches. I go when I've nothing else to do."
