The First Post website reported that Jay-Z was prepared to move to London with pop star wife Beyonce to work with the club.
Earlier this year, the rapper said he'd like to invest in the club, but now he wants a "hands-on" role, the website reported.
"We would have to spend much more time in London. Bey knows how much I love sports and has known about my interest in Arsenal for a while," he said.
"I never want to be a back-seat investor. I want to be on the board, involved in the decision-making. I'm at the stage of my career where I am ready for another investment like this. "
Jay-Z, 40, already has a part share in the New Jersey Nets basketball team and was rumoured to have tried, unsuccessfully, to persuade his friend LeBron James to join the team.
So:
Jay-Z - great rapper. Good businessman. He's a real mensch but he cannot run a footie club. Can anyone?
