Signing Close – Arsenal have Beaten Off Competition to Sign AM

Arsenal were brilliant not so long ago but since the turn of the year, the North Londoners have turned average and that may cost them the title once again.
Arsene Wenger’s men have failed to win in their last three league games and now find themselves in 3rd place in the Barclays Premier League.
The Gunners need to reinforce their squad with a quality striker but if reports are anything to go by then they are closing in to sign 17-year-old Nigerian international Kelechi Nwakali.

According to reports (Daily Star via Complete Sports Nigeria), Kelechi’s brother has confirmed that the U-17 Nigerian captain will be joining the Gunners.
As per the provided Daily Star link, Arsenal have beaten off competition from big teams like Bayern Munich, Manchester City and European Champions Barcelona to secure Nwakali.
Nwakali is a versatile attacking midfielder who scored 3 goals, provided 3 assists in 7 U-17 WC games and also won the golden ball award as the competition’s best player (Transfermarkt).
