Portsmouth coach, Tony Adams, has told Super Eagles captain, Nwankwo Kanu, that they can do without him if he insists on quitting the club when his one year contract expires in the summer.
The Pompey boss has been Papillo’s former teammate at Arsenal and a long admirer of the striker but he is not sure of his stay at Fratton Park as he is getting irritated about rumours linking him to several European top clubs with PSV Eindhoven as the latest.
Kanu was given a one year deal after meeting the 20 games set for him last season by erstwhile coach, Harry Redknapp, but the club’s former highest goal scorer wants an improved deal from the Blues.
"If Kanu decides he wanted to leave and doesn’t want to accept our offer for him, we have no choice than to let him go. "He was my teammate at Arsenal where we won a lot of trophies together. I know his qualities and honestly, I don’t mind to continue working with him.
"He’s a great player and one of the most talented players I have ever seen in my career. I don’t think he will leave because he is very much happy playing for Portsmouth.
"But if he feels he is no longer comfortable staying here that will not be the end of the road for the club. We will move on without him and get a new striker to replace him."
