Robson in talks over Kanu delay

West Brom boss Bryan Robson hopes to persuade the Nigerian Football Association to delay Kanu's departure for the African Nations Cup.

Robson wants the former Arsenal striker to be available for Saturday's FA Cup tie with Reading and a Premiership game against Wigan on 15 January.

Kanu is required to join up with Nigeria on Friday.

"His first game is on January 24 and he would still have a week to prepare with the team," said Robson.

Robson has been unable to delay midfielder Diomansy Kamara's departure to join up with Senegal and hopes to have better luck when he talks to Nigerian officials later this week.

"We are just asking the Nigerian FA to be helpful because we have got a massive game against Wigan," added Robson.

"If we can delay Kanu's departure, it is not as if he is going to miss any matches."

The 29-year-old former Ajax and Inter Milan forward has 39 Nigeria caps and has scored six goals.

He has bagged five goals for West Brom this season, including both in the 2-0 victory over Tottenham at The Hawthorns on 28 December.
