Kanu believes Arsenal can win titles
Speaking to Sky Sports, Kanu said: "When I'm in London, I still go to the stadium to watch Arsenal, because this is a great club and I am a part of it.
"They were close last year, but this year I want them to win trophies.
"However, you need to have the belief that you can do it. During my time at Arsenal, we had the confidence and belief in ourselves, and if this crop of players, who are playing fantastic football, can believe in themselves, they will win titles."
