Premier league giants, Chelsea and Arsenal are
battling to secure the signature of 17-year-old
attacking midfielder Kelechi Nwakali following his
eye-catching performance during the U-17 World
Cup in Chile.
According to reports, Chelsea have opened talks
with him with Arsenal yet to do so.
His agent Klay Ekeocha has also come out to
confirm that he is in talks with a number of sides
in Europe, including the Blues, as his client is
likely to be making a transfer in the near future.
“We are in contact with Chelsea, Udinese and
Olympiakos,” he said.
It was believed that the Gunners were favourites
to his signature after he admitted he was keen to
play for the club earlier last week.
However, his agent also added that he already
opened talks with Arsenal, but is yet to receive
any sort of reply.
“We got in touch with Arsenal and there’s no
feedback yet.”
Following his performance for Nigeria in the
tournament, Nwakali was named Most Valuable
Player of the Fifa Under 17 World Cup.
Manchester City and West Ham United were also
keeping an eye on his services, but later ruled
out a move due to problems with his work
permit.
