Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote is a Gunners fan and has never hidden his wish to purchase the club even though current owner Stan Kroenke has no plans to sell.

Dangote spoke hypothetically about what he would do if he was to take over at the Emirates.

He : 'The first thing I would change is the coach. He has done a good job, but someone else should also try his luck.'

And the 60-year-old pledged to make his move for the club following the construction of an £8.5billion oil refinery in Lagos.

He added: 'If they get the right offer, I'm sure they would walk away. Someone will give them an offer that will make them seriously consider walking away.

'And when we finish the refinery, I think we will be in a position to do that.'

Fortunately for Wenger, Kroenke is adamant he will not sell up, with the American backing his long-term manager to bring success back to the club this season.
