English
Premier League club Arsenal have reignited their interest in Nigeria Under 17
international Kelechi Nwakali. Jonathan Barnet’s Stellar Group has informed Diamond Academy
Umuahia that the Gunners are ready to meet the central midfielder’s 3.5 million
euros (N752.5m) asking price.
However, it is understood that
Arsenal will only offer the Golden Eaglets star a contract should he impress
during trials.
Nwakali’s bonafide intermediary, Klay Ekeocha, said that he had contacted the
Londoners but there was no positive feedback from the club as at late November.
The 17 – year – old has been linked with possible moves to
Chelsea, Olympiakos and Sporting Lisbon after emerging the Most Valuable Player
of the 2015 Fifa Under 17 World Cup but the interest from Udinese is the most
concrete.
The Italian Serie A club had earlier made a bid of 800,000 euros
which was rejected but they have been told to increase their offer to €1.2
million.
