Captain of the Nigerian national team and Portsmouth striker Nwankwo Kanu has been voted the 13th greatest player of the club by fans of the club he plied his trade between 1999 and 2004.
Kanu made 198 appearances for the Gunners and scored 44 goals including a hat trick at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea during his debut season to complete a memorable comeback from 2-0 down.
The lanky 32 year old is rated higher than Chelsea duo Nicholas Anelka (29) and Ashley Cole (25) while former Portsmouth teammate Sol Campbell came in at 15th greatest while Marc Overmars and Freddie Ljungberg are the only players named so far ahead of Kanu at 12th and 11th respectively.
Kanu won the Premier League title twice with Arsenal in 2002 and 2004, adding the FA Cup in 2002 and 2003 before leaving the club. He since has won the FA Cup at Pompey last season, scoring the winning goal against Cardiff City at the new Wembley Stadium.
