The desire of African
richest man Nigeria's Aliko Dangote to become part owner of English premier
league side Arsenal may have finally hit the rocks after American billionaire
Stan Kroenke declared a fresh desire to have complete control of the club.
Kroenke according to
latest report made an offer to minority owner Alisher Usmanov tabling his
readiness to take complete control of the club. Arsenal's current value is put
at £1.8billion.
Dangote has never hidden
his love for the Emirates landlords while his desire to have a pie in the club
has continued to prop up in the media circles every now and then.
The international business mogul had at a time
indicated his intention to have at least 16% share of the club, but with the
current development it does appear that the desire will again return to the
cooler.
Dangote is however not the only
one with such passion for the Gunners who are hoping not only to return to
winning ways but also intensify quest
for trophies with new coach Unai Emery .
Rwandan President Paul
kagame is equally a lover of the Gunners and there is no doubting the fact that
both men will be praying for the team to do well as the new season kicks off
Friday. The Gunners flag off their quest
for glory 2018/19 season with a home tie against defending champions on Sunday.
Arsenal showed
impressive run their first pre-season under Unai Emery with a convincing 2-0
win over Lazio in Stockholm as Reiss Nelson and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang found
the net.
