Africa’s
richest man, Aliko Dangote, may no longer buy Arsenal football club, Dangote,
has said that he would turn his attention to buying another football club if
Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke refuses to sell.
Dangote
does not think this is the right time to buy the Premier League club because he
wants to complete one of the world’s largest oil refineries in Lagos, Nigeria.
”I’m
very attached to Arsenal but if he won’t sell, I might have to change,” Dangote
told Bloomberg TV at the New Economy Forum in Singapore.
”I’m
very much a fan of football. I have to have a club. I don’t have to own
Arsenal.”
The
61-year-old Aliko Dangote is worth $11.2 billion, according to the latest
Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Arsenal
is the sixth-largest soccer club in the world, generating revenue of 488
million euros ($556 million) in the 2016-17 season, according to Deloitte LLP.
