Nigeria and Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote , has once again reinstated his plans to acquire Arsenal F.C clubside. He also said he will be acquiring the club in about 4 years from now.

Speaking with Bloomberg TV in New York on Wednesday, Dangote stated that there’s no doubt he’ll buy Arsenal and it’s not a problem of money.

“Maybe three to four years. The issue is that we have more challenging headwinds. I need to get those out the way first and start having tailwinds.

Then I’ll focus on this.”
“It’s not about buying Arsenal and just continuing with business as usual,” he said. “It’s about buying
Arsenal and turning it around.

I’ve run a very successful business and I think I can also run a very successful team. Right now, with what we’re facing, over $20 billion of projects, I cannot do both.”
