ARSENAL appear to have completed their second signing of the summer.
By Jack Wilson
Nigerian midfielder Kelechi Nwakali announced on Facebook yesterday that he’d agreed a move to the Emirates.
He follows Swiss midfielder Granit Xhaka in making the switch to north London.
Nwakali posted a picture of himself holding an Arsenal shirt with his name on the back.
He also added a pic of him with Gunners boss Arsene Wenger, which was taken earlier this year.
The whizzkid changed his bio on the social-networking site to “Footballer for Arsenal FC and Nigeria U20”.
And he wrote: “New Life Begins @Arsenal.”
Nwakali, a star for Nigeria’s Under-17 team, will join from his country’s Diamond Football Academy.
Nwakali caught the eye of Gunners chiefs after winning the golden ball at the FIFA U17 World Cup last year.
The youngster has reportedly already asked to wear the No.25 shirt at the Emirates.
The number was once worn by club legend and fellow Nigerian Nwankwo Kanu.
