English Premier League: Dangote expresses sorrow over purchase of Arsenal

Posted by

Aliko Dangote, chairman of the Dangote Group, has previously said that he wishes he had spent $2 billion to acquire Arsenal.

Dangote stated that he feels the “time has passed” to acquire the Premier League team.

On Monday in New York, he had an interview with Francine Lacqua of Bloomberg.

I believe that period is over. Yes, I did say that I would attempt to acquire Arsenal as soon as the refinery was ready the last time we spoke.

However, the problem is that prices have risen across the board. Each club is performing admirably. Arsenal are currently enjoying tremendous success. When I wanted to make the purchase, they weren’t doing so hot.

“I really doubt that I possess the kind of surplus funds necessary to acquire a club for $4 billion just to put it to promotional use.

Instead than sitting on the money, I’d rather put it to use. As for me, I intend to remain Arsenal’s most ardent supporter.

I never miss one of their games. Even though I will always be a huge Arsenal fan, I just don’t see the logic of buying the club right now.

You know, I should have bought Arsenal sooner, but I needed the money to finish my thesis. Now I regret it. “If it had been $2 billion, I would have bought it,” he declared.
