Arsenal Makes £6 Million Bid for Nigeria U-17 Youngsters

English Premier League side Arsenal has reportedly tabled a £6 million bid for Nigeria youngsters Kelechi Nwakali and Samuel Chukwueze.

The youngsters, who shone at last year’s FIFA U17 World Cup in Chile in November, are expected with their guardians and academy officials in London this month to complete the transfer to the London Gunners.

Last year, Nwakali’s agents demanded £4m from another EPL side Manchester City after he underwent trials at The Etihad.

City officials felt the player was overpriced and did not follow up on the deal.

Kelechi’s older brother Chidiebere is on the books of City and his own transfer three years ago was put at over £3m.
