See this African guy who wants to buy arsenal.

Aliko Dangote has said he wants to buy London-based football club, Arsenal but that will be after he completes his refinery project.

The 58-year-old Kano State indigene and Africa‘s richest man says by the time he completes the building of an oil refinery in his homeland, he would have the financial resources to secure a club takeover. The refinery is expected to be ready latest by 2017.
“When we get this refinery on track, I will have enough time and enough resources to pay what they are asking for,” Dangote was quoted to have told BBC Hausa.

“There were a couple of us who were rushing to buy, and we thought with the prices then, the people who were interested in selling were trying to go for a kill,”Dangote said.

“We backtracked, because we were very busy doing other things, especially our industrialisation.
”Dangote’s business acumen, especially in manufacturing is undoubted but he has no experience in sports investments, unlike American, Stan Kroenke, Arsenal’s majority shareholder, who owns 66.64 percent of the club’s parent company Arsenal Holdings Plc. “They are doing well,” Dangote said of Arsenal, “but they need another strategic direction. They need more direction than the current situation, where they just develop players and sell them”.

Barcelona the new champions for the 5th time

Barcelona completed an historic treble and won a fifth Champions League title thanks to a 3-1 victory against Italian champions Juventus in Berlin.

Second-half strikes from Luis Suarez and Neymar eventually saw off a spirited Juventus side as Barca added the biggest prize in European football to their La Liga and Copa del Rey success.

Luis Enrique’s side made the perfect start to their treble bid asIvan Rakitic rounded off a brilliant team move in the fourth minute to give his side an early lead. However, Juventus fought back to grab a foothold in the game and they levelled the scores after the break thanks to Alvaro Morata’s 55th-minute strike.The goal filled Massimo Allegri’s side full of confidence but just as they were starting to dominate proceedings, Suarez and Neymar sealed Barcelona’s first Champions League title since 2011. Juventus, who were chasing a treble of their own, set their stall out early, pressing Barcelona’s back four high up the field but the Italian champions could not take advantage of Javier Mascherano’s poor pass as Carlos Tevez’s shot failing to test Marc-Andre Ter Stegen.


Minutes later, Barcelona’s jitters disappeared as Lionel Messi picked out to Jordi Alba with a cross field pass. The full-back laid the ball off to Neymar, who picked out the run of man of the match Andres Iniesta into the box before he squared for Rakitic to sweep beyond Gianluigi Buffon to complete a superb team goal.

The goal settled Enrique’s side and they nearly doubled their advantage but Neymar’s shot flew inches over the bar. Juve, who had Arturo Vidal and Paul Pogba booked in the first half, were struggling to cope with the Spanish side’s free flowing football and had Buffon to thank for not going further behind in the 13th minute as he clawed away Dani Alves side footed effort. However, the Serie A champions started to get more joy going forward towards the end of the half as Morata curled an effort past the far post and Claudio Marchisio’s rising shot failed to hit the target.


Barcelona went close through Suarez just before the break but while they had the better of the opening 45 minutes the Italians did enough to suggest all was not lost going into the interval.But that Catalan class was always just under the surface as Barcelona broke quickly with five red and blue shirts pouring forward and just three Juventus players. Once again Buffon wasthe Juventus saviour, turning aside Suarez’s fierce strike.

Messi was then involved in some mesmerising one-touch play with Suarez and Neymar before shooting a yard past the upright, yet for all of Barcelona’s dominance, a second goal proved elusive. And in the 55th minute Juve were back on level terms as Marchisio’s sweet back-heel found Tevez whose shot on the turn was well saved by Ter Stegen, but the ball broke to Morata to fire home. Suddenly, it was Juventus who were full of confidence and believing they could go on to win the game. Tevez was unmarked on the edge of the box but scooped over, then Pogba shot straight into the arms of Ter Stegen.

ROONEY BELIEVES THAT THEY ARE READY FOR NEXT SEASON

Wayne Rooney believes Manchester United are on their way back to being title contenders after just one season under Louis van Gaal.
United achieved their objective of clinching a top-four spot this season and skipper Rooney believes that can be a platform for Van Gaal's squad to mount a sustained challenge for silverware next season.
"Unfortunately no silverware this season, but I think we're looking forward," said Rooney, speaking at United's Player of the Year Awards at Old Trafford.
"We've done what we wanted to do this season. The main aim this season was to get back in the Champions League. We've done that and we know we've got the quality in the squad to push on next season.
"We want to go and win the last game of the season, then next season we really want to push for silverware."
Rooney admitted it was vital for United to make an immediate return to the Champions League after last season's debacle under former boss David Moyes, when they finished seventh.
"It was very important," said Rooney. "If you look at Liverpool and what happened to them, they were without it for years, which was no shame, but I think one year was far too much for this club
"Our main objective this season was to get back into playing Champions League football and kick on next season. We're establishing a very good squad, who I believe can go on and win silverware next year."
Asked to sum up what it has been like working under Van Gaal in his first season as United boss, Rooney said: "Tough. No, the manager has come in and he's been excellent.
"It's a different way of working, a different way to what we were used to, but I think the players have embraced that.
"I think the first few months it was different, we found it tough and I think that probably showed in our performances.
