The FA Cup final hero last week told a Nigerian radio station he deserved a contract extension in recognition of his Wembley exploits.

That's news to Blues chief executive Peter Storrie, who insists the 31-year-old has never discussed the situation with him.

As it stands, a fresh 12-month deal remains on the table and has done so since January.

The offer of the contract was triggered after Kanu appeared in 20 matches, as stipulated in the deal he penned last summer.

Yet he has still to sign.

The former Arsenal striker is expected to return to training next Tuesday where the contract situation will once again be discussed.

And while Kanu may feel he warrants a longer deal, Pompey remain to be convinced.

Storrie said: 'Kanu will be back in training next week when we hope he will sign the contract he has been offered.

'In accordance with last year's deal, we have given him another 12 months. At this moment in time he has not signed it.

'All talk he now wants a two-year contract is news to us. I was not aware of that at all. He hasn't spoken to me about it.

'No-one knows whether what he has supposedly said is factual or not – I will be interested to hear what he has to say when he returns next week.

'As it stands there is a contract there to be signed. If he wants longer nothing has been said to me.'

Kanu scored seven goals in 31 games last season, although he was used as a substitute 13 times.
