Legendary Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger, has named former Nigeria striker, Nwankwo Kanu, as the best signing he made in a January transfer window.The former Super Eagles star went on to score six times and provided two assists in 12 Premier League games before the 1998/1999 season ended.
Kanu spent five-and-a-half years in total with Arsenal and was part of the Invincibles squad that won the title in 2003/2004. Having also signed names like Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang, Andrey Arshavin, Emmanuel Adebayor, Henrikh Mkhitaryan in a January window, Wenger feels the Nigerian made a bigger impact.
“Maybe Kanu. In the middle of the season. That had a big impact and he was a huge player,” he told beIN Sports, in response to the question of his best January transfer signing.
