Dangote is the 67th richest man on earth and he wants to buy Arsenal. He said he has been a supporter for more than 30 years when a business associate David Dein took him to watch his first Arsenal match. Dein was the highest share holder at Arsenal before he sold his shares to Stan Kraonke, the American.

DANGOTE: “I really wants to buy Arsenal and I hope they don’t look at colour because money doesn’t have colour. Money is money. I want them to look at my love for Arsenal, which is over 30 years.

I started supporting Arsenal after a close friend and associate took me to see a life match. He introduced me to the sugar business and he was the highest share holder at Arsenal before he sold his share to Stan Kraonke.

Kraonke is 67 years old and he owns 67 percent share of Arsenal. We don’t know if he wants to relinquish his shares or if there is even a policy not to sell to an African. See what Dangote said about it

DANGOTE: I don’t think there is a policy not to sell to an African. It looks so, but I don’t want to believe it. Arsenal are a wonderful club and I won’t loose money by buying them. I will just take them in another direction. Buying players, growing them and selling them is not the best revenue model to me. I will change that if they sell to me.

Toyin Ibetoye took to twitter to express his disaffection in the who matter. He said he loves Dangote. But he would advise Dangote to buy a local club.
