Nigeria youth international Kelechi Nwakali has said that he will join Arsenal for pre-season next month after he has signed a professional contract later this month with the English Premier League.
Nwakali, who recently turned 18, will travel to England later this month to sign the dotted lines with ‘The Gunners’ and he said he will join them afterwards for pre-season. “I will sign this month now that I’m 18, and then I will travel for pre-season next month,” he said. The deal that will see the Nigeria U-20 international move to the Emirates had been somewhat protracted, but has now been sorted.
Nwakali shone as Nigeria won the FIFA U-17 World Cup last year in Chile.
