Alisher Usmanov has revealed he has long-term ambitions to buy
Arsenal.
Despite claims from the club's current board that he was not
planning to take over the Gunners, the Russian billionaire has
today insisted he is.
However, the 54-year-old metals magnate said a takeover of the
London club was unlikely in the immediate future.
"We don't have the capacity today, but this is business and life is
changing," he said. "Something that you can't do today maybe you
can do tomorrow."
Usmanov's company, Red and White Holdings Limited, has a 23% stake
in Arsenal, making him the club's second largest shareholder behind
Danny Fiszman.
