Career
Kanu joined Beira-Mar in the summer of 2008 from Águia Negra. His time with Auri-negros saw him feature regularly in a side which in the 2009–10 season claimed the Segunda Liga, thus gaining promotion to the Portuguese top flight.[1][2] Kanu scored the goal which sealed promotion to the top flight against Carregado.[3]
In January 2011, Kanu would leave Beira-Mar for Belgian side Standard Liège on an undisclosed fee.[4] In the summer of 2013, he attracted interest from Anderlecht and Sporting CP, but decided to stay with Standard Liège.[5][6]
After his release from Liège in the summer of 2014, Kanu signed for Primeira Liga side Vitória de Guimarães.[7]
On 29 December 2015, Belgian Pro League team Oud-Heverlee Leuven announced the signing of Kanu for two and a half years as he was brought in to help the team avoid relegation,[8] however only three months later as the team had suffered relegation his contract was deemed to be too much of a burden for the second division and he was subsequently released.[9] In his short period back in Belgium, Kanu appeared 7 times, scoring one goal against Lokeren.
