But Kanu, who spent five years in north London, reckons his former club need to learn to be more clinical.
“My advice to Arsenal would be to be able to really see off teams," Kanu told The Sun.
“If they are one goal up, they have to make sure they finish the game strongly and not let other teams back into the game.
“I believe they are getting a team now that can win ugly, play bad and still get three points – it’s not all about winning 5-0.

“The more points they can grind out, the more they do that, the more chance I believe they have to finally win the league and catch Chelsea.
“Every club has weaknesses, Arsenal has been there before and this time they have a better chance as long as they do not lose focus in each game.”
Arsene Wenger and Arsenal travel to face Southampton in the fourth round of the FA Cup tomorrow (5:30pm).
