Premier League soccer star Nwankwo Kanu has snapped up an apartment in Dubai Sports City.

The Portsmouth and Nigeria striker has signed a deal with British developer The First Group.

Kanu’s flat is in the 13-storey Diamond Hotel Apartments block, where Manchester United star Michael Owen has also taken a unit.

Kanu, who trains with his club in the emirate, said: “I have spent a lot of time visiting Dubai recently. It is a wonderful city and I’m delighted to have property here now.”
