Nigerian billionaire businessman Aliko Dangote has suggested that he might be making a move to buy Premier League outfit Arsenal.
The 63-year-old was initially linked with a move to buy out Lady Nina Bracewell-Smith's 15.9% shares in 2011 but he later abandoned the deal in a bid to focus on his refinery project in Lagos.
"I'm trying to finish building the company and then after we finish, maybe sometime in 2021 we can.
"I'm not buying Arsenal right now, I'm buying Arsenal when I finish all these projects because I'm trying to take the company to the next level." reported by Football.London.
Dangote will have Stan Kroenke to contend with if he must become the new owner of the Premier League outfit.
