The former Super Eagles star signed for the Gunners 21-years ago today, and many are celebrating his legacy.

On Wednesday, Arsenal celebrated the 21st anniversary of signing Nwankwo Kanu from Serie A side Inter Milan. The two-time CAF African Footballer of the Year joined the English club for about £4.15 million on January 15, 1999.

Kanu went on to score 54 league goals and provided 29 assists on the way to winning over a century games for then-manager Arsene Wenger’s side.

Arsenal took to Twitter to mark the special day with a video of Kanu’s best five goals scored at the club.

That goal from the acute angle against Chelsea stands out. Incredible individual effort. Long live King Kanu.

For his best goal seems to be forgotten, the one against Deportivo.
Simply genius the way he tricked the keeper without touching the ball and simply tapped the ball into the net as the keeper lay on the ground and watched.https://t.co/WMz8J6qdcm

During his time with the Gunners, Nwankwo Kanu won two Premier League titles, two FA Cups and one FA Community Shield.
