Kanu’s exit excites Portsmouth

Portsmouth administrator Trevor Birch says he has been “encouraged” by the progress the club have made in their attempts to avoid liquidation following the exit of Kanu from Fratton Park.
Birch has given the club until August 10 to get rid of all their remaining senior players or reach compromise agreements with them.
With Kanu now gone, the side have just three senior players at the club.
“We’ve made encouraging progress,” Birch told BBC Sport.
Administrators PKF also confirmed on Monday that the former Arsenal striker, who has reached the end of his 14-day notice period, is still involved in a dispute over unpaid wages.
