The 27-year-old Nigerian international, who was a free agent having been released by The Gunners at the end of last season, has signed a three year deal at The Hawthorns.

"We're obviously delighted Kanu has decided to join us," Baggies boss Gary Megson told the clubs official website. 

"I felt it was important we signed this type of player as I think it takes us forward not just one step but quite a few steps.

"One of the things I mentioned to Kanu was that we would be bringing in other players. And while he will make a difference to us, it's important we don't just think this signing will transform us overnight, although it is a massive signing for us."
