Nwankwo Kanu has finally come to grips with his waning impact in the round leather game and has launched his most pointed retirement notice. In the wake of last weekend’s loss to Chelsea in the English FA Cup, the ex-Ajax, Inter Milan, Arsenal and West Bromwich Albion attacker cum midfielder admitted that he might have played his last match as a player in England. The 33-year-old Kanu is the second most decorated African footballer ever, after Samuel Eto’o of Cameroon, having also won the Champions League with Ajax and the UEFA Cup with Inter plus league titles in Nigeria, England and Holland. Kanu, who has offers from Australia and the Middle East said: “This could be my last year in England, so going back to Wembley was special. “The big stage is the best for a player and I’d say Wembley is the best one of all.” Papilo stated further that he’s ready to end his Nigeria career: “I cannot play when I am 50. But I want to keep playing for one or two more years.” Meanwhile, Kanu re-stated his belief that the Super Eagles could soar all the way at next month’s World Cup in South Africa. The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has already set a semi-final target for the Eagles in South Africa, but Kanu, who is on the verge of his third World Cup, has predicted Nigeria could even go all the way and win the tournament. “Yes, this is a big opportunity for an African team especially, as the tournament would be played in Africa. It is a chance for an African team to make a big impact either to win the World Cup or at least, get to the final,” Kanu said on a BBC TV interview programme, Extra Time.
