Most Valuable Player at the just concluded U-17 World Cup and Golden Eaglets captain, Kelechi Nwakali, has played down interests from premier
league champions, Chelsea and Manchester City saying that he’d prefer to play for
Arsenal instead.
The young playmaker who successfully guided the Golden Eaglets to win the tournament in Chile was speaking to media men in Nigeria
when asked about the interests shown in him by top clubs especially Chelsea and
Man City, Kelechi
said, “I will love to play for Arsenal.
They are the Premier League club I will
like to play for them because they play the best football in the world.” |

City, who
has 2013 U-17 alumni Kelechi Iheanacho and Chidiebere Nwakali playing for them, are said to be already leading the race to sign the younger Nwakali and are
trying to make his brother, Chidiebere, persuade him to join them. But, Chidiebere is reported
to have said “It is a personal decision and so he will be the one to take it as
this could well define his career.”
It is now left to Arsene Wenger to make this young, talented midfielder's dream come true.
