About two weeks ago, the highly rated Nigerian U17 World Cup
winner, Kelechi Nwakali, took to social media to confirm he has signed
for Arsenal. The Nigerian has told those close to him that he will officially arrive at Arsenal this coming weekend.
The 18-year-old, who captained Nigerian to victory at the recent
World Cup in Chile, has unveiled on his Facebook account
that he has signed a 5-year contract with Arsenal and the report went
further to say the Nigerian has already been granted a work permit.
Kelechi is the complete midfielder, very versatile, can play the
number 10 role, defensive midfielder or a box to box midfielder but
having seen him play on many occasions, he reminded me of a 'more
skilful Patrick Vieira'.
Although the signing of the Nigerian youth international is not
one that will set the transfer window alight, if he can fulfil his
obvious talent, I doubt there will be many Arsenal fans complaining
(there will always be some!).
Plus, with Wenger in charge of his development, he has a great chance
of emulating some of the Arsenal greats, in the not too distant future
