Warner Music Group owner Len Blavatnik has purchased a small stake in Spotify rival Deezer.

According to the New York Post, billionaire Blavatnik is now expected to push for Deezer to be expanded into the US.

Currently, the service is available in over 100 countires including the UK and France, where it is the market leader.

However, Deezer has so far resisted the challenge of going head-to-head with the likes of Spotify and RDio in the US.
