Kanu has denied suggestions that he wants to quit Portsmouth and
secure a move back to his former club Ajax.
The 30-year-old has denied talking to his ex-club and he insists he
is more than happy with life at Fratton Park.
"I don't know why they keep on saying that about Ajax - there's
nothing happening," he told The News.
"I'm a Portsmouth player, I love the supporters, I love the club
and definitely I want to be here. It's just up to the management to
show their own commitment.
"I don't know who these people are that keep going on about Ajax,
Ajax, Ajax. I haven't even heard from Ajax.
"I don't know where it's coming from. It's annoying because it's
not true.
"The fans want to know the truth and the truth is I am grateful to
Portsmouth, to Harry, to the management, to the supporters.
"They have taken me in and since then I have been playing for them
and I want to stay."
Kanu did reiterate that he wanted a longer term contract in order
to secure his future.
"I have said before that it's difficult to travel for two hours
from London to Portsmouth and then train and then go back.
"But if I can have a commitment from the club then I can settle
down, have a house here and be relaxed.
"I want a longer contract. If you have six months of a one-year
contract, you don't know what's going to happen.
"It's just for the management to say 'okay' and then give you more
years on your contract so you can relax.
"It depends on the management how long it is and then we'll take it
from there.
"I hope to start talks soon."
Meanwhile, Pompey boss Harry Redknapp insists he wants to bolster
his defence in the transfer window after losing Noe Pamarot to
injury.
"I haven't got a clue if I'm going to be bringing in a player or
not.
"I keep looking, but I don't know whether I'll be able to bring
anyone in. I've not got a clue about money.
"Hopefully we can get one or two in because losing Pamarot leaves
us a bit short at left-back, with Dejan Stefanovic still a long way
from fitness, too.
"We've got only two spare defenders - Andy O'Brien and Andy
Griffin. Andy Griffin wants to go to Stoke, Stoke want him, but I
can't let him go."
One fresh addition to the Pompey squad comes in the shape of
Svetoslav Todorov who has returned from his loan spell at
Wigan.
