Arsenal hero Nwankwo Kanu says the current team needs to be mentally tougher.

Kanu, who won two top flight trophies during his stay in north London, believes it's about time they put that right.

He told AOL: “You know the problem with Arsenal. When you need them, they let you down.

“I believe they have learned from that.

“It doesn't matter how good you play football, you need to get the points when it's needed."

Arsenal have taken four points from their opening three games this term.
