Nwankwo Kanu says he would've told Alex Iwobi to reject a move to Everton and stay with Arsenal.
Kanu says the timing - being on deadline day - prevented him from having a quiet word in Iwobi's ear, begging him to stay.
The former striker told Goal: It was a surprise to everybody because it happened right at the end of the window.
If I knew earlier, I could have said to him not to go and that it was better for him to stay.
I would have said that there was no need for him to go because at Arsenal he will still play. He's that good and he needs to know that.
I think Arsenal would have been the best place for him because it's a big club and you want to play in a big club and in Europe. Those are the games you want to play."
