 Kanu says it ain't so by Rupe
on 25/10/99 at 10:04
this is story 138 of 595 in this topic to date
Many Gunners were worried by Sunday's papers, some of which reported that Kanu wants to leave Arsenal already. Basically the line was that he has a reputation for not sticking around long, which is a strange and unusual spin on the Kanu story!

Don't worry, the man himself has responded by saying that he is in the process of thrashing out a new contract, very much with a view to staying.

"I do not wish to leave Arsenal. I am playing some of the best football of my career at Arsenal and I am delighted that the fans have made me feel so at home. It is true that my contract is being reviewed... but I feel confident that this will be sorted out very quickly. I am negotiating for a house in London, which I hope shows my further commitment to the club and I hope my family from Nigeria will be able to join me in my new home soon."

Also, Arsene Wenger is reported to have said that Kanu is priceless and not for sale.

Some people will try to read a lot into the fact that a new deal is being talked about so soon into his spell at Arsenal, given that at the time of his signing the club said Kanu was joining on a long-term deal. But it has to be remembered that at the time his signing was seen as a gamble on his health. Now that that issue seems to be in the past, and he's proven himself to be more than special, it's hardly surprising that terms are being reviewed.
