Kanu: Kelechi Nwakali is so good I hope Arsenal gives him a chance
Former Super Eagles captain Nwankwo Kanu hopes on loan FC Porto
midfielder Kelechi Nwakali will be back soon at his parent club,
Arsenal.
The Golden Ball winner at the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Chile has
played for three different clubs on loan since he joined the Gunners
in 2016 from Diamond Academy, Umuahia.
Two time African Footballer of the Year in 1996 and 1999, Kanu, bared
his mind to Goal.com regarding the situation of Kelechi Nwakali, who
has been invited for Nigeria’s 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier
against Seychelles on Saturday.
“Very, very good player. I hope you have seen him play, then you will
know that he is good,” said Kanu.
“He played for Nigeria before the World Cup, a friendly game against
Atletico Madrid.
“He scored a fantastic goal, so he keeps playing and keeps progressing
and keeps growing.
“I keep advising him. I hope one day they will open the door for him
to come back to play for Arsenal.”
Nwakali  who signed a five-year deal at the Emirates aged 18 is yet to
make a first-team appearance.
The skillful 20-year-old playmaker also had loans at VVV Venlo and MVV
Maastricht in the Dutch leagues.
