Arsenal fans in Nigeria should pray hard ooooo. Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, has again expressed interest in buying English Premier League team, Arsenal despite being rebuffed by its owners in 2010.Dangote, who is an an Arsenal fan worth $15.7 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, discussed buying a stake in the club five years ago before talks with the owners fell through.
Dangote told Bloomber: “I still hope, one day at the right price, that I’ll buy the team. I might buy it, not at a ridiculous price but a price that the owners won’t want to resist. I know my strategy.”
Despite his interest Dangote says that he will concentrate on expanding his own business before launching a new offer for Arsenal as he has invested a lot of money in numerous businesses.
Dangote criticised Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, claiming that the 65-year-old “needs to change his style a bit” and warning that the club “need new direction”.
