Former Nigeria international Nwankwo Kanu does not believe Mikel Arteta is the right choice for English Premier League side Arsenal, saying his lack of experience as manager is not what The Gunners need.
Kanu was a stalwart for Arsenal over five seasons and part of their Invincibles squad of 2003-04. He believes that The Gunners
need a manager with more experience.
“The recent poor performances of Arsenal can improve with experienced management,” Kanu told reporters.

“I know every fan is disappointed with the games the club has been playing of late. This is not the same Arsenal people used to know. But, all the same, we can still turn it around. “We have a new interim coach, Freddie Ljungberg, but things are not really going on well for him. When you have players, they should always tell themselves the truth.
“The players alone cannot be blamed, but the entire management also. But it is clear that Arsenal are not where they are supposed to be, they have to change a lot of things and ensure that they return to the basics.
“We need a strong hand to bring back the glorious days of Arsenal,” Kanu concluded.
Arsenal hope to have Manchester City assistant manager Arteta in place for their trip to Everton on Saturday.
