From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Africa's richest man has admitted that he still wants to buy Arsenal, despite failing with a bid to buy the club in 2010.
Nigerian commodities businessman Aliko Dangote is worth an estimated $15.7billion (£10.38bn), far in excess of current Arsenal majority shareholder Stan Kroenke (£3.7bn) and minority owner Alisher Usmanov (£9.65bn).
“I still hope, one day at the right price, that I’ll buy the team,” Dangote told Bloomberg.
“I might buy it, not at a ridiculous price but a price that the owners won’t want to resist. I know my strategy.”
Arsenal are currently valued at just shy of £1bn, £988m, and look on course to finish in second in the Premier League this season.
If a deal ever did go through, Dangote would become the first African owner of a Premier League club.
Dangote has previously stated that Arsene Wenger "needs to change his style a bit".
