Africa's richest man, Aliko Dangote has revealed that he is looking forward to purchasing Arsenal Football Club within the next 4 years. He once revealed it last year that he was going to buy it. He told Bloomberg television that he has not given up plans to buy the club. 

He said he needs to wait for his business prospects to improve and his investments in gas pipelines and an oil refinery to play out before making the acquisition.
“There’s no doubt” he’ll buy Arsenal and “it’s not a problem” of money, Bloomberg reported.
“Maybe in 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,” Dangote added.
An acquisition of the team would make him the first African owner of a team in England’s Premier League.
“It’s not about buying Arsenal and just continuing with business as usual. 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,” Dangote said.
