Kelechi Nwakali and Samuel Chukwueze pictured at Arsenal with Arsene Wenger and Nwankwo Kanu
Nigerian duo Kelechi Nwakali and Samuel Chukwueze are on the verge of being confirmed as Arsenal signings after posing with manager Arsene Wenger and CEO Ivan Gazidis.

The teenage stars were also pictured with Gunners legend Nwankwo Kanu.

Mirror Sport revealed earlier this month that Arsenal had beaten off competition from Manchester City and Bayern Munich for the pair from the Diamond Football Academy in Umuahia, Nigeria.

Arsenal scouted them during last year’s Under-17s World Cup in Chile when Nwakali, 17, was the star of the tournament as he was captain and voted Player of the Tournament. Chukwueze, 16, scored three goals and three assists.


When asked whether he expects it to be done before Monday’s deadline, Wenger said: “Yes. The (talks) are progressing well.”


And now the duo appear to have signed after being snapped with the Frenchman.

I love arsenal

good boys from a Home with their kinsman from ......


Happy for em boys

Nice one. COYG. Proud Arsenal fan here.

Bayern showed interest and they both said NO I'm quite surprised! When you're aiming for the skies as a Tenage footballer, Germany should always be your starting point. They know the game, and are very disciplined. I'm quite happy for them though, buh with my HUMAN eyes, I think Osinmen made a better choice with Wolfsburg.

KANU = Gooners = Legend

i c kelechi as super star in d nxt 5years

i tot wenger said that he wudnt sign 'kids'' anymore because dey dont win trophies

anyways... congrats to our countrymen

Okay

Congrats to these young lads, I'm happy for them.

Makes me remember Kanus Startimes advert

Its good to have talent. Your talent will take you places. If anybody had told these boys they would one day meet wenger I am sure they wouldn't have believed. But see them today now. Congrats to them

hmm . . . climate change picture

and these old men are 17.

it's all good
