Aliko Dangote - Africa's richest man - has stated his desire to buy Arsenal 'within three to four years'.
The 59-year-old, who is believed to be worth around £8.3billion, has spoken of his interest to take over Arsenal on a number of occasions but said that he needs to overcome 'challenging headwinds' in his other business ventures before focusing on buying the Gunners.
'Maybe three to four years. The issue is that we have more challenging headwinds. I need to get those out the way first and start having tailwinds. Then I'll focus on this.' Dangote told Bloomberg.
