Bergkamp, Kuyt and Larsson target English club takeover

Premier League legends Dennis Bergkamp, Dirk Kuyt and Henrik Larsson want to buy a football team.

Bergkamp starred for Arsenal, Kuyt for Liverpool, and Larsson for Celtic and Manchester United.

Football agent Rob Jansen has come out with speculation that the trio could be lining up a new venture together.

He told the KieftJansenEgmondGijp podcast: “We are in the process of buying a club in England. I'm not allowed to say which club yet.

“I can say which group we will do it with. Ronald Koeman, Dennis Bergkamp, Henrik Larsson and Dirk Kuyt.

“We are now looking at League Two or League One. We do this with some people around us and we also have the financiers. It doesn't have to be in London.

“The plan is to manage the football club in the broadest sense of the word.

“So, the way we think it should be. Training, hospitality, merchandising, marketing, everything. We have a group, and maybe one or two more will join.

“The names I mention will also do a certain job within the club. Henrik Larsson would like to become a head coach. Bergkamp will set up the academy. And Koeman also comes over to do his things."
