Arsenal secures Premier League title as former star Kanu joins celebrations

Arsenal confirmed their 2025/26 Premier League championship after Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw at Bournemouth, giving the Gunners a four‑point lead with one game remaining. The title ends a 22‑year wait for the North London club, their first league triumph since the 2003/04 season when they completed the unbeaten "Invincibles" campaign.

Former Arsenal and Nigeria forward Nwankwo Kanu, a member of the 2003/04 squad, shared his support on social media, posting a photo of himself holding the Premier League trophy from that season. Kanu recalled his contributions to the Invincibles, noting his ten appearances, one goal and four assists, and celebrated the current team’s hard work and deserved victory.

Kanu’s career includes stints at West Bromwich Albion, Portsmouth and Inter Milan, as well as major honors with Ajax and the Nigerian national team, such as the 1996 Olympic gold medal. His comments highlighted the continuity of Arsenal’s winning tradition and the pride of former players in the club’s latest achievement.
