Former Super Eagles captain Nwankwo Kanu was a part of the Arsenal legends present at the send-off of the departing coach of the club Arsene Wenger at the Emirates Stadium in London on Sunday.
Wenger, who announced last month that he would leave the Premier League club at the end of the season, played his last home game in the Gunners’ 5-0 win over Burnley at the Emirates.
A farewell event was organised for the 68-year-old with former and current Arsenal players and fans in attendance.
After giving his farewell speech, the Frenchman went round greeting the fans and the former players including Kanu, who he gave a warm hug.
Wenger signed Kanu in February 1999 from Inter Milan. The former Super Eagles midfielder, who spent five seasons at Arsenal, was a part of the club’s 2003/04 season’s Invincibles that won the last league title for the club.
The former African Footballer of the Year won two Premier League and two FA Cup titles with Arsenal.
