Arsenal currently tops the table with 60 points, beating the defending champions Manchester City by 5 points.<\/p>\n<p>Kagame who has been an Arsenal fan for about 30 years made the comments during a press conference at Village Urugwiro which was attended by local and foreign journalists, on Wednesday, March 1.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course the better we, I mean Arsenal, perform towards getting the ultimate prize, it brings more dividends, absolutely. Imagine this season if we become the champions, I will be rushing to the bank to collect some money,\u201d Kagame said.<\/p>\n<p>The Gunners moved five points clear at the top of the Premier League on Wednesday with a 4-0 win over Everton at Emirates Stadium and put the pressure back on Manchester City in the title race.<\/p>\n<p>In a bid to boost its tourism packages, Rwanda has been Arsenal\u2019s official sleeve sponsor since 2018, a development that allows the \u201cVisit Rwanda\u201d brand to be advertised on the shirts donned by the players and other club officials.<\/p>\n<p>Kagame noted that Rwanda has had \u201ca very good partnership, in fact it gets better with time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He highlighted that what is being achieved by Rwanda surpasses by far what has been invested.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are getting more, by a big factor,\u201d he said, noting that the returns are assessed through several metrics including calculating the number of people who visit Rwanda, getting to know the country, and investing in Rwanda \u2013 all based on the partnership.<\/p>\n<p>The country also has a partnership deal with France\u2019s Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).<\/p>\n<p>Kagame said both Arsenal and PSG deals have returned impressive dividends for local tourism through the Visit Rwanda campaign.<\/p>\n<p>During the same press conference, the President also said that Rwanda could soon partner with a major football club, marking the third deal of such a kind.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal last won the Premier League in 2004. The Gunners&#8217; 2003\/04 season has gone down in history as they went the full season unbeaten and the squad became known as the &#8216;Invincibles&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/rwanda\">Rwanda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Rwanda.
