Bernie Ecclestone is open-minded about the possibility of a takeover bid for Arsenal.
Following reports claiming American billionaire Stan Kroenke is ready to launch his own attempt to gain control of The Gunners, Ecclestone has also been linked with an offer.
The Formula One supremo has confirmed he has not held talks with the Premier League club regarding any bid.
But Ecclestone conceded that he would be open to an approach from Emirates Stadium, if the deal represented good value.
"I don't know too much about that, actually," Ecclestone told Reuters in response to reports he is lining up a bid for Arsenal.
"It's good if somebody is saying that, because maybe I will be approached and maybe it will be cheap.
"I'll buy anything if it's cheap enough.
"If somebody offers me something that I think is good value, I'll have a go."
Ecclestone also feels the departure of former vice-chairman David Dein, who was keen for Kroenke to be more involved in the club, was 'unnecessary'.
He added: "I talked to David obviously when they chucked him out, which I thought was a bit unnecessary."
