Since 2010, Aliko Dangote dreams to own Arsenal FC. Almost a year ago, while Arsene Wenger was still with the team, Dangote told Bloomberg that he’d fire him once he buys the club. Now, there are new talks about the Nigerian billionaire’s plans to take over the club by 2020.
If Dangote succeeds, it would mean a Nigerian would now become the biggest shareholder of an English club, and his position in the club would (hopefully) have a positive impact on the Nigerian Professional Football League. So, we can’t wait for this change to happen.
News emerged this week that Russian billionaire, Alisher Usmanov was looking to sell his 30.4% stake in the club. This will give Dangote a chance to put his plan into action. But first, he needs to finish the construction of his oil refinery and petrochemical complex in Nigeria.
Dangote hopes that once the refinery starts production in the first quarter of 2020, not only will he be focused enough to pursue Arsenal, but he’ll also have enough money to make an offer the shareholders can’t refuse.

“Even if somebody buys [Arsenal], we will still go after it. If [the shareholders] get the right offer, I’m sure they would walk away.
Someone will give them an offer that will make them seriously consider walking away.”
