Aliko Dangote Discusses Intent to Buy Arsenal Amid Alisher Usmanov Rumours

Aliko Dangote, Africa's richest man, has reiterated he wants to buy Arsenal amid speculation minority shareholder Alisher Usmanov is seeking to sell his stake in the club.

It was reported by the Financial Times on Tuesday that Usmanov is "actively exploring a sale" of the 30 per cent stake he has in the Gunners. Stan Kroenke is the majority owner of the club with a 67 per cent holding.

When quizzed on the report, Dangote said regardless of any sales involving Usmanov and Kroenke, he will look to buy the club in two years.
