 Kanu played only 10 League games last season |
Arsenal have confirmed that Nigerian international striker Kanu will be leaving Highbury, along with Martin Keown and Sylvain Wiltord. The trio are on a list of 17 players that have been released by the Gunners.
Kanu, 27, had limited opportunities in the first-team last season and has been linked with a move to Charlton.
Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp is interested in signing Keown, 37, while 30-year-old Wiltord is keen on a move to Arsenal's arch-rivals Tottenham.
Latvian defender Igor Stepanovs, who spent last season on loan with Belgian club Beveren, has also left, along with reserve goalkeeper Rami Shaaban.
Alex Bailey, Stephen Bradley, Liam Chilvers, Craig Holloway, Nicky Nicolau, Michael Papadopulos, Paulinho and Ashley Probets are the other senior professionals to leave.
And youth team players Sam Kanu, Dean McDonald, Dorian Small and Hassan Sulaiman have not had their contracts renewed.
