The reigning world FIFA U17 Most Valuable Player, kelechi Nwakali has once again proven it that he has been given the chance to showcase his talent with Arsenal senior team after many Nigerians ignorantly rubbished the news that he is to be with the senior team some days ago, see https://www.nairaland.com/3171714/nwakali-promoted-play-arsenal-senior/1#46661059.

The 18-year-old took to his Instagram wall yesterday to reveal that has been given the chance to succeed Arsenal Nigerian Legend, Nwakwo Kanu as he has been honoured with jersey number 25, the same number given to Kanu during his playing days.

Nwakali shared the photo below and wrote:

"Can't wait to succeed this number 25...@kingkanu4 I will make u proud...NG"

Consequently, haters should not be shocked when they see Nwakali featuring for Arsenal senior team during pre-season matches just as Iheanacho featured for Manchester City senior team in pre-season matches and scored in each game he played despite belonging to their youth team, which made him gain ground in the senior team at that young age.

Congratulations Bro.!
