African Richest Man, Aliko Dangote Tells His Interest to Buy Arsenal in an Interview

Nigerian Billionaire and Africa’s richest man, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, has said he is still interested in buying EPL club, Arsenal. In an interview with Bloomberg, Aliko Dangote said he will make fresh attempts at buying the London club despite his rejected bid in 2010.

“I still hope, one day, at the right price, that I will 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.

“We have $16 billion-worth of investments in the next few years. Right now I want to take my own business to a certain level. Once I finish on that trajectory, then maybe [I will bid again for Arsenal],” - the 58-years-old Dangote told Bloomberg.
