Ex-Arsenal manager Wenger snubs Aubameyang, names Kanu his best January signing

Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has named Nwankwo Kanu as his best signing in the middle of the season during his 22-year spell with the Gunners.

Kanu moved to North London from Inter Milan for a reported £4.15 million fee in 1999 and immediately established himself in the team.

He came off the bench to make a significant impact in first few outings for the Gunners with goals against Derby County, Sheffield Wednesday, Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa as a substitute.

He also bagged a 15-minute hat-trick against Chelsea in October 1999, which helped Arsenal turn around a two-goal deficit to claim a 3-2 win.
