Nigerian
billionaire Aliko Dangote tried and failed to acquire a stake in 2010 but
claims he has a "strategy" for investing in the Gunners
Africa's
richest man, Aliko Dangote, has said he still wants to buy Arsenal despite
failing in a 2010 bid to acquire a stake in the club.
The
Nigerian billionaire is now worth nearly eight times as much as when he tried
to buy into the Gunners, and the passionate Gooners has not given up on his
dream of getting involved with the north London club.
“I
still hope, one day at the right price, that I’ll buy the team,” Dangote, 58,
told Bloomberg.
“I
might buy it, not at a ridiculous price but a price that the owners won’t want
to resist," he continued, before ominously adding, "I know my
strategy.
Interestingly,
Dangote has publically stated that Arsene Wenger “needs to change his style a
bit,” claiming the team “needs new direction.”
Dangote
- valued at over US$15billion - 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.
