Indian multi-billionaire Mukesh Ambani has a significant interest in purchasing a Premier League club and has been tipped to choose Arsenal over Liverpool or Manchester United and for a particular reason, according to reports.
Despite the recent news surrounding Fenway Sports Group (FSG), who own Liverpool, and The Glazer family, who own Man United, both seeking outside investment, Ambani would seemingly prefer to purchase the Gunners.
In 2008, Ambani bought IPL cricket team Mumbai Indians and also went on to help create Indian football's Super League and he seemingly has his next major move in sport planned out. The Mirror claimed the 65-year-old joined the list of parties from the USA and Middle East in emerging as a potential buyer of Liverpool.

FSG have been at the helm of the Merseyside club for 12 years and despite releasing a statement insisting they are "fully committed to the success" of the Reds, new investment opportunities are being sought-after.
However, Indian media outlet ABP News claimed that a representative of Ambani's Mumbai-based Reliance Industries firm branded the reports as 'fake'. The Athletic are now reporting that Ambani would rather purchase the north London outfit, rather than Man Utd or Liverpool.
The main reason given is simple - his son is an Arsenal supporter.
The report states: "Ambani's son Akash, 31, is, reported to be a big Arsenal fan and The Athletic has been told by sources who have to remain anonymous to protect business interests that the London club is the one the family would go for if they did enter the football world."
Ambani has a net-worth of around $90.7billion (£73.7billion) and is rated by Forbes as the 10th richest person in the world and by his current business ventures is clearly a huge sports fan.
Kroenke Sports & Entertainment is the current holding company of Arsenal with Stan Kroenke as the owner. His son Josh Kroenke is far more involved in the day to day and has been spotted at Emirates Stadium on numerous occasions recently. While Edu and Mikel Arteta were spotted with Stan Kroenke in Los Angeles possibly discussing January transfer plans.
