Mirror reports that Nigerian Billionaire Aliko Dangote who's fortune is estimated at around $12.9bn (£10bn) has expressed his desire to buy English Team Arsenal Football Club. The 60 year old is also an ardent Arsenal fan.
Dangote has never hidden his intention to take control at the Emirates and insists he will make his move once the construction of an $11bn oil refinery in Lagos is completed.
And should he tempt Stan Kroenke into doing business, he says his first action will be to dismiss Arsene Wenger.
"The first thing I will Change is the coach, he has done a good job, but someone else should try his luck." Dangote told Bloomberg.
Dangote is positive about convincing the major shareholders at Arsenal to sell the club.
"If they get the right offer I'm sure they will walk away. Someone will give them an offer that will make them seriously consider walking away.
"And when we finish the refinery,I think we will be in a position to do that." Dangote Said.
