Arsenal legendary coach, Arsène Charles Ernest Wenger better known professionally as Arsene Wenger has ignored the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Nicolas Anelka and Edu, who he purchased during his time as the club’s head coach to pick Nigerian star, Kanu Nwankwo as his best January signing.
The Nigerian spent 5 years in North London and was part of the Gunners’ legendary Invincibles side, as he lifted 2 EPL titles and two FA Cups with Arsenal.
The former Nigeria player however, joined the Gunners from Inter Milan in 1999, for £4.15 million and with 17 goals to his name in his first full season.
Thus, when Frenchman, was asked about his best piece of business in the January window, the 71-year-old told beIN Sports: “What a difficult question. Over 20 years… maybe Kanu.
“In the middle of the season, that had a big impact and was a huge player.”
He added that he believes that transfers shouldn’t be restricted to winter and summer windows, and would prefer clubs to be allowed to do business throughout the season.
He said:
“I think it is like a race in a marathon where you change the shoes half way,
“It is not right, when once you have started the season, you have to finish the season with the same players
“Or you keep it open the whole season like it was when I arrived in England.
“They have chosen a rule that is not right.”
