The richest man in Africa Aliko Dangote is planning to buy Arsenal within four years.
Dangote presently ranked 67th in forbes rich list is a Self-processed Gunners fan, his net worth is about $10.9b, and he's worth much more than both Kroenke and Usmanov the biggest shearholders.
The 59years old said, "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 successful business and I think I can also run a very successful team.
"Right now, Dangote added, with what we are facing, over $20b of projects, I can not do both.
Dangote who is presently building a refinery in Nigeria, told BBC Hausa, "when we get this refinery on track, I will have enough time and enough resources to pay what they are asking for .
"There were a couple of us who were rushing to buy it (in 2011) and we thought with the prices then, the people who were interested in selling were trying to go for a kill.
"We backtracked, because we were very busy doing other things, especially industrialisation.
