Friday, October 25, 2024 - 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.
