EXCLUSIVE: Kanu wants Arsenal to emulate Chelsea and appoint a former player as manager

In the wake of Frank Lampard’s appointment as Chelsea boss, Nwankwo Kanu believes Arsenal must learn from the Blues if they hope to return to their glory days.

Lampard was confirmed as the new Blues manager, returning to the team where he became a legend as a player.

He succeeds Maurizio Sarri and will be in charge of the Roman Army on a three-year deal after a short stint with English Championship outfit, Derby County.

The ex-Arsenal man believes the 41-year-old who spent 13 years at Stamford Bridge is the right man for the job.
