Invest In Nigerian Clubs Before Buying Arsenal, Segun Arinze Tells Dangote

 

 

 

 

Veteran Nollywood actor, Segun Arinze has urged billionaire businessman, Aliko Dangote, to invest in a Nigerian club before buying Arsenal

Arinze said this while speaking on Punch’s Online interview programme, Stars Talk Football, on his love for Chelsea and acting.

“If he (Dangote) wants to buy Arsenal, he can, but I think he should invest in a Nigerian club and make it world-class before buying Arsenal. Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich had a club in Russia, his home country, before he bought Chelsea.”

Dangote had in 2020, on the David Rubenstein Show, stated that he would consider buying Arsenal in 2021 after the completion of his projects, which are reportedly worth $20bn.

“It is a team that, yes, I would like to buy someday, but what I keep saying is we have $20bn worth of projects and that’s what I really want to concentrate on,” Dangote said.

“I’m trying to finish building the company and then, after we finish, maybe sometime in 2021 we can.”
