The wealthiest man in Africa, Alike Dangote, is interested in purchasing Arsenal.

Dangote, a 58-year-old Nigerian, is worth $15.7 billion from sugar, flour and oil industries.

"I still hope, one day at the right price, that I’ll buy the team," said Dangote.

"I might buy it, not at a ridiculous price but a price that the owners won’t want to resist. I know my strategy.”

Dangote tried to buy the club five years ago.

Arsenal is currently valued at $1.49 billion and Stan Kroenke owns 67 percent of it.
