One of the most exciting, unpredictable, skilful and mercurial forwards to represent us during the Arseu0300ne Wenger era, the 2003/04 season proved to be Kanu’s swansong at Arsenal.
The gifted Nigerian forward joined us midway through the 1998/99 season, and had already lifted three major honours for the club heading into the Invincibles season. He started that campaign approaching 200 first-team appearances for us, and was certainly one of the more experienced figures in the dressing room, having previously won silverware for Ajax, Inter Milan and the Nigeria national team.
Although Kanu would find his chances limited during his final season in north London, he did make several notable contributions in the cup competitions, and also scored our only goal in a 1-1 Premier League draw away to Everton in January.
