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
