Aliko Dangote says he's keen on buying Arsenal football club

Africa's richest man, Aliko Dangote says he is still interested in buying one of English premier league football teams, Arsenal. In an interview he did with Bloomberg while traveling in a private jet from Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa to Lagos on May 1, Dangote said he'll love to buy the club when the price is right ...
"I still hope, one day at the right price, that I’ll buy the team. I might buy it, not at a ridiculous price but a price that the owners won’t want to resist. I know my strategy.” he reportedly said
Dangote had signified interest in buying the football club in 2010 but the deal didn't come through as he and owners of the club couldn't come to an agreement. Arsenal Holdings Plc is valued at $1.49bn. Dangote is worth $15.7 billion, so he's capable!

      With Nigeria's money! The Dangote individual is annoying. All he does he take from Government funds and creates monopolies.

      If you were the only person allowed to sell Chicken in the whole of Nigeria of course you will be rich. Dangote you irritate me with all your 'self' promotion as Africa's richest man.

      The ignorant people buying into you are the same ones claiming Diezeni etc stole 20billion. So fed up. Nigerians wake up!

    Why doesn't he begin charity from home by starting a football club here in Nigeria. I'm sure with his great wealth I believe he can set up an enviable and properly run club and easily attract fine talents even from outside these shores.
