Aliko Dangote, Africa/Nigeria’s richest man, has
clearly re-stated his plans to buy London-based
professional football club ‘Arsenal’ , in four years
time. 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.
Dangote, reportedly worth around £8.3billion,
announced his intention to buy Arsenal last year.
But his business prospects needs to improve and
investments in gas pipelines/oil refinery have to
to pay off before making the expensive
acquisition.
“It’s not about buying Arsenal and 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.”

“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.”
