Former Arsenal forward Emmanuel Adebayor has made it clear where his football loyalties lie, shutting down comparisons with Nigerian icon Nwankwo Kanu, IsaGoal can report.
In a now-viral post cited by Isagoal.com, Adebayor firmly rejected the idea of being ranked alongside the legendary Super Eagles striker.
“I beg you people, Kanu is my idol and my god of football. So please, no comparison needed here. Thank you for understanding,” the ex-Togo captain wrote on social media.
That simple but powerful statement has been widely praised by fans, especially in Nigeria, who see it as a gesture of deep respect and humility.
Kanu remains a household name in African football, having played for clubs like Ajax, Inter Milan, and Arsenal—where he built a trophy-studded legacy that includes a UEFA Champions League title, Premier League crown, and Olympic gold medal.
Adebayor, while a standout in his own right, played for some of Europe’s biggest clubs including Arsenal, Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Tottenham Hotspur.
He made his mark at Arsenal after joining in 2006, where he scored 62 goals in 142 games, with his standout 2007/08 season featuring 30 goals across all competitions—24 of them in the Premier League, per talkSPORT.
Though born in Togo, Adebayor had Nigerian roots, sparking fan debate over how different his career might have been had he played for the Super Eagles instead.
But with one heartfelt comment, he’s made it clear—Kanu isn’t just a legend to him, he’s untouchable.
