Kanu Nwankwo influenced my decision to join Arsenal. He’s my best Friend – Emmanuel Adebayor

Former Real Madrid, Manchester City and Arsenal star Emmanuel Adebayor has described former Nigerian international Nwankwo Kanu as his big brother and best friend.

Adebayor, who wore the No. 25 jersey at Arsenal, during his time said that the Atalanta Olympic gold medalist played a big role in his decision to join the Gunners.

“My idol was Nwankwo Kanu, so signing for Arsenal, wearing his number 25 jersey, and using the same locker as him was, for me, a huge accomplishment,” Adebayor said to BBC.


“Today, he is my big brother and best friend; he advises me if I’m doing right or wrong.”

“In 2008, I was unplayable. To be recognised as Africa’s best player was huge – it’s something I’ll never forget.” he added.
