The management of Club Leicester has dismissed African Billionaires willing to buy the club citing that the club cannot be under an African.

This follows shortly after Leicester’s club owner, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha passed on in a plane crash last month.


Africa’s Ruto and Dangote had partnerd in an attempt to buy the club and share ownership on equal terms. Ruto had told of his plans to transform Leicester into a football giant in Europe and the entire world if given the opportunity to own it. The Leicester city management has however not welcomed the two insisting that the club owner should not be of African descent.

Other Billionaires willing to buy the club are from Russia, The United States,China and England.
