Portsmouth FA Cup final hero Kanu, who scored the winner in the 1-0 Wembley victory over Cardiff last May, has not played enough games to trigger a clause earning him a new one-year deal. The former Arsenal star’s agent, Samuel Okoronkwo said: “Kanu wants to play football and would consider Australia." The Nigerian international has netted 21 goals in 91 appearances since joining Pompey on a free transfer from West Brom in the summer of 2006, but has started only two Premier League games this season. Perth had been lining up a move for Birmingham striker, Kevin Phillips, who is now likely to remain at St Andrews following its promotion to the top flight.
