Kanu set for Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal farewell party

Ex-Super Eagles skipper, Nwankwo Kanu, is among a host of former Arsenal star expected to attend Arsene Wenger’s penultimate game at the Emirates.

Wenger recently announced his decision to walk away from the club he has spent the last 22 years.

According to a report on a British website, Daily Mail, the Gunners have written to all their ex-players who have made 100-plus league appearances for the clash with Burnley on Saturday.

The club’s other two fixtures will be away to Leicester City and Huddersfield.

Kanu, who joined Arsenal from Inter Milan in 1999 made 119 league appearances for the club and hit the back of the net 37 times.

He spent five years at the club before linking up with another Premier League side, West Bromwich Albion.

The likes of Sol Campbell, Thierry Henry, Tony Adams, Bob Wilson, Frank McLintock and other legends are also expected at the match.

Arsenal will use the fixture as a key element of their celebrations to commemorate the Frenchman’s time in charge.
