Sheffield United’s potential new owner Dozy Mmobousi will give the Blades an influx of money before the takeover is finalised.
According to Daily Mail, the Nigerian tech entrepreneur, who’s companies have a combined estimated worth of $7Bn, will give Sheffield United in excess of £10M to help cover player wages, transfer installments and other running costs at the club.
Dozy Mmobousi is hoping to have the takeover finalised within the next couple of weeks after passing the EFL’s fit and proper checks.
Mmobousi is no stranger to investing into football, having been involved with grassroots football previously. He has funded scouting schemes, training programmes and talent management for Porsche United and Nassarawa United, the two of which are regarded as formidable grassroots clubs in Nigeria.
An article from GQ says that Mr Mmobousi has long held aspirations to work with a top tier UK club, and he believes that the combination of grassroots initiatives and top tier football will pay dividends for clubs, fans and management teams for years to come.
Dozy Mmobousi is the Founder/CEO of two prominent US corporations: Tingo Inc, Africa’s leading Agri-Fintech company and Tingo International Holdings Inc. His companies have an estimated net worth of $7Bn.
One of Mr Mmobousi’s companies, Tingo, is expected to have generated revenue in excess of $1Bn in 2022.
Is this the man to help maintain Premier League status for the Blades? Exciting times ahead for Sheffield United Football Club.
