Africa/Nigeria's richest man Aliko Dangote who is reportedly worth £8. 3 billion re- stated his intention to buy London based professional football team ' Arsenal '
In an interview with Bloomberg Television in New York on Wednesday. He said "there is no doubt that i will buy Arsenal , it is 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.”
He added
“It’s not about buying Arsenal aand just continuing with business as usual,” he said. “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.”
Dangote announced his intention to buy Arsenal last year but needs to wait for his business to improve and his investment in oil and gas to play out before the acquisition.
