Arsenal majority owner Stan Kroenke has made a £1.8bn bid to buy the whole of the London club.
Stan already owns 67 percent of the club and has secured the support of minority owner Alisher Usmanov.
Usmanov must have had a change of heart as he previously turned down Stan Kroenke’s £525m offer for his shares in October.
The American Billionaire released a statement confirming the offer, it says:

“We at KSE are moving forward with this Offer leading to 100% ownership of the Club. We appreciate Mr. Usmanov’s dedication to the Arsenal Football Club and the storied ethos and history the Club represents.”
