Africa's richest man, Aliko Dangote, is working on a major oil refinery project in his native Nigeria. Once he's built it, he intends to buy Arsenal, his favourite football club. Interviewed on his luxury yacht in Lagos by the Financial Times he said: 'I love Arsenal and will definitely go for it.' He reckons the club is worth about $2bn. He has long been frustrated with the team's decline under Arsene Wenger. As owner he would involve himself in rebuilding the team, 'chipping in my own advice' as he puts it. Neither of the leading shareholders has given any hint they want to sell their holdings.
