Cement and commodities tycoon Aliko Dangote
is the richest man in Africa with an estimated
fortune of $15.7 billion.
The 58-year-old Nigerian is also a huge
Gooner still dreaming of owning the club one
day despite failing to take over the club in
2010.
The previous set back has not deterred
Dangote however telling financial media outlet
Bloomberg that he still dreams of owning the
club one day.
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.
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’ll bid again for
Arsenal].
Dangote has in the past criticised Arsenal
manager Arsene Wenger, saying that the 65-
year-old Frenchman “needs to change his style
a bit” while also saying the club “need new
direction”.
