In a move to save his club, former Super Eagles striker Kanu Nwankwo, has written off a debt of \u00a33million, to help save the South Coast club Portsmouth.<\/p>\n

The club which had dropped into the third tier of the English Football League was indebted to the Nigerian striker after a successful six year stay in which he scored several goals as well as the winning goal of the FA Cup final in 2008.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did not ask the club for millions of Pounds; I dropped the whole matter of wage money because I know the club has big problems.\u201d Kanu said<\/p>\n

He also added that: \u201cThe reason I have not returned is because I feel it is time for me to hang my boots up as a player. I will be coaching and promoting my foundation through football.<\/p>\n
