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.
