Arsenal confirm midfielder Kelechi Nwakali has joined FC Porto on loan. The highly-rated 20-year-old is expected to feature for the Portuguese Primeira Liga side’s B team and has a buying option attached to the deal.
Nwakali joined the Gunners from Nigeria’s Diamond Academy in 2016 but has been unable to feature due to difficult in getting a work permit. As a result, he’s had to be loaned out every season until it’s sorted.
The Nigerian u17 international joined Dutch outfit MVV Maastricht just weeks after joining Arsenal two years ago and made 34 appearances in all competitions, scoring and creating seven goals.
