“I just came back from London, I have signed a five-year contract with Arsenal, ” Kelechi Nwakali told allnigeriasoccer.com on Wednesday morning after training with his nursery team.
“So many teams were interested in me but it has been my dream at a tender age to play for Arsenal.”

Prior to agreeing terms with the Gunners, his reps rejected overtures from Sporting Lisbon, Olympiakos and Udinese.
