Aliko Dangote has not given up on his
plan to acquire Arsenal. The Nigerian reportedly worth $10.9bn says he
plans to take over the club by the end of the decade.
Dangote stated last year that he was
prepared to pay any sum to take ownership of the Premier League club
away from Stan Kroenke.
Dangote, a lifelong Arsenal fan whose
fortune is largely tied up in Dangote Cement, is reported to have lost
$4.4bn this year due largely to the depreciation of Nigeria’s currency
But the 59-year-old says he still plans
to complete a takeover of the Gunners before the end of the decade once
his latest ventures in gas pipelines and an oil refinery have developed.
