Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote has hinted on when he would be buying Arsenal. According to the multi-billionaire, he would be buying Arsenal once he delivers his refinery project. He disclosed this in a recent interview and why he wouldn’t be interested in any other club except Arsenal.


You’ve mentioned wanting to buy Arsenal Football Club before. Is that still on your wish list?

Yes, but I don’t want to go after Arsenal until I deliver the refinery. Once I deliver, I will go after Arsenal.

There are no other clubs you’d want to buy?

I don’t change clubs. Even when Arsenal isn’t doing well I still stick with them. It’s a great team, well-run. It could be run better, so I will be there.

I will wait. Even if things change I will take it and make the difference going forward. You can read the full interview here.
