It seems like the richest black man in the world, Aliko Dangote is refusing to give up on Arsenal as a huge Arsenal fan. He's been talking about buying Arsenal since about 4 years ago. It even got to an extent that he said the current owner of Arsenal only worth $5 billion dollars, that he is richer than him and he can buy all stakes at Arsenal, if given the opportunity.
He stated that he loves Arsenal so much as an Arsenal fan, he also added that he would like to make Arsenal the biggest and richest club in the world, if given a chance to buy the football club. Dangote said that 2 years ago.
It was only yesterday that the richest black man in the world re-stated his plans to buy the biggest and the most decorated football club in London 'Arsenal' in four years to come.
In an interview with Bloomberg TV in New York on Wednesday, Dangote stated that there’s no doubt he’ll buy Arsenal and it’s not a problem of money.
“Maybe three to four years. The issue is that we have more challenging headwinds. I need to get those out the way first and start having tailwinds. Then I’ll focus on this.”
“It’s not about buying Arsenal and just continuing with business as usual, It’s about buying Arsenal and turning it around. I’ve run a very successful business and I think I can also run a very successful team. Right now, with what we’re facing, over $20 billion of projects, I cannot do both.” He said.
Dangote, who has already invested about $8 billion dollars in building the biggest oil rig in Nigeria, making it the biggest oil rig/oil refinery in Africa, reportedly worth about $13 billion.
