Former Super Eagles striker Nwankwo Kanu has revealed which Arsenal player can hurt Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League final, Afrik Foot reports.

Arsenal: Kanu backs Gyokeres to hurt PSG in UCL final

Ahead of the showdown, the 49-year-old has thrown his full support behind his former side, backing them to win their first-ever Champions League title.

“Last season is completely different from this one,” Kanu said in an interview with Flashscore.

“If you look at our Champions League run, we haven’t lost a single game, and reaching the final on that record gives us real belief that we can go all the way.

“Some may call it revenge, but for us, it is about proving ourselves and finishing the job. We really need it, and with this mentality, we are confident we can definitely get it done.”

Quizzed about the player who holds the ability to help Arsenal win against Paris Saint-Germain, Kanu said:

“Gyokeres, of course, among the top strikers we have playing in the league right now.

“At the same time, there are other forwards in competition with him who also bring quality, and that pushes everyone to improve.

“When you have strong competition for places, it helps players raise their level. If those others were given the same opportunities, they would also perform well.

“But as a striker, I believe he is definitely one of the best in the game today,” the two-time UEFA Champions League winner concluded.

During his time at Arsenal, Kanu won the FA Cup twice, the Community Shield, and the English Premier League title twice.
