Kanu reveals what Arsenal need to win EPL title

Former Super Eagles captain and arsenal player Kanu Nwankwo has said that Arsenal would need a “miracle”, to win the 2018/2019 Premier League title.

The Gunners are yet to lift the trophy since their triumph in the 2003/2004 campaign, when they went a whole season without losing a game.

Kanu was part of the Arsenal squad that season.

Following the appointment of Unai Emery in May, the North London club have bolstered their ranks with the addition of Stephan Lichtsteiner, Bernd Leno, Sokratis Papostoupolos, Lucas Torreira and Matteo Guendouzi this summer.

But Kanu expects them to stage a challenge and win a silverware, though a league title looks elusive.

“We have to give him time to bring his own style and the way he wants to play.

“It takes time for the newcomers, the new signings, to adapt but if it happens and they win the league it’s a miracle – I wish that would happen.

“For the new manager it’s going to be a very big challenge; the fans want them to perform in the league in his first year, which is always difficult for a new coach.

“Coming into a big club you need a trophy, so if you don’t win the league you have to win the others. It’s hard but it’s what you expect of a coach of that stature and a big club,” he told SkySports.
