But the claim is that Kanu himself is getting increasingly frustrated with Arsenal's failure to deliver on promises made to him when he signed. He is said to have said "I am sick of this, unless they keep their word I am in the wrong place", and to have threatened to refuse to play until it's sorted out.

We must stress that this information is reported to come from a "friend" of the player, and that we anticipate a denial from the great man before long. That's what happened last time after all. But then again, that was 5 weeks ago, and we haven't spotted any good news regarding visas for his family since then.
