Heading into the last eight of both competitions, the Dutch and English sides are not considered by many football faithful as favorites to win their games.

But Kanu sees the possible swinging of the pendulum to the ways of his former clubs.


Speaking about Arsenal who are in a four horse race for a Champions League spot in the English Premier League, Kanu said:

"We (Arsenal) are fighting for fourth place in the league and if we win the Europa League, great. With due respect to Napoli, Arsenal will give them a strong game."
 
Papilo also debunked rumours of a misunderstanding with another Super Eagles captain and legend Austin Jay Jay Okocha.

"I don't have a problem with Jay Jay. He's my 'senior brother'. We speak the same language, eat, drink and play together.

"Our families have good relationship and when I say we're brothers, we are more than brothers  so people should not peddle such rumours," Kanu, who further revealed that the issue of recovering his stolen medals in Lagos is ongoing, concluded.
