Arsenal are reportedly closing in on a deal to sign young Nigerian duo Kelechi Nwakali and Samuel Chukwueze, beating off competition from Bayern Munich.
According to Samm Audu on African Football, midfielder Nwakali, 17, and 16-year-old winger Chukwueze are set to sign long-term contracts at the Emirates.
The duo have been targeted by Bayern and described as "two of the world’s most talented youngsters," with Arsenal set to have to pay a "minimum combined fee of £3 million," per Gary Jacob in the Times.
Both were part of the Nigerian side that won the under-17 World Cup in the summer, with Nwakali skippering the Golden Eaglets and particularly impressing, per Nigerian football journalist Colin Udoh:
Osimhen may be the top scorer, but Nwakali is my tournament MVP.
