Arsenal to sign Nigerian teenagers Kelechi Nwakali and Samuel Chukwueze [African Football]

According to African Football.com, Arsenal are about to sign two highly promising Nigerian talents.

Kelechi Nwakali, an attacking midfielder who won the Golden Ball award at the FIFA under-17 World Cup last year and who is often compared to Yaya Toure, is now on his way to sign for the Gunners.

Nigerian forward Samuel Chukwueze, who also played in the competition registering three goals and three assists in seven games in Chile, is also moving to the Emirates Stadium according to the report.

The deals are only being held up for technical concerns, as the teenagers are having their visas processed before they can travel to London to sign for Arsene Wenger’s side.

Africa Football.com quote an unnamed source, saying:

The players’ visas to England are being processed and a party of seven including their legal guardians are expected this month in London to finalise their transfer to Arsenal.

While no transfer fees are stated in the original report, the Times are claiming Arsenal will pay 3 million pounds for both players.
