Africa’s richest man Aliko Dangote
has insisted his interest in buying
Arsenal is not ‘overnight stuff’ and
revealed he has been a fan of the
club for more than 30 years ,thanks
to former vice-chairman David
Dein.


Dangote, who is the 67th wealthiest
person in the world with a fortune
of £12billion, has explained his
interest in The Gunners by
explaining he was first taken to the
club’s former Highbury ground by
Dein, a close friend and associate.
Dein, a former sugar trader, helped
Dangote start his business in 1980.

Dangote Sugar Refinery Plc now
accounts for 90 per cent of the
product sold in Nigeria.
