Nigerian mega billionaire Aliko Dangote, who is also Africa’s richest man, has indicated interest to buy Arsenal despite failing in a 2010 bid to acquire a stake in the London club.
The 58-year-old who is now worth eight times as much as when he tried to buy into the Gunners.
“I still hope, one day at the right price, that I’ll buy the team,” he told bloomberg.
“I might buy it, not at a ridiculous price but a price that the owners won’t want to resist. I know my strategy.”
Interestingly, Dangote has publically stated that Arsene Wenger “needs to change its style a bit,” claiming the team "need new direction.”
He is worth more than both Arsenal majority shareholder Stan Kroenke and Uzbek Billionaire Alisher Usmanov, who have been fighting for control at the Emirates in recent years.
