Premier League club Arsenal are one of the many clubs that are looking for quality additions this summer. The manager has already added the likes of Granit Xhaka to his armory ahead of the next season but needs a few other star players to help him compete with the best in the country and also in Europe.

The manager has been linked with a number of top quality stars in the current transfer window, but he is not able to find the right player who wants to play for the club next season.

But it is now understood that the Emirates outfit is on their way to completing just their 4th signing this summer.

Nigerian wonderkid Kelechi Nwakali is expected to finally arrive at Arsenal this week, as confirmed by allnigeriasoccer.com.

“Kelechi is leaving Nigeria between 30th and 31st of July, his ticket has already been booked. His senior brother Allwell and his mother will accompany him on the trip,” ASJ Academy CEO Amajiriaku told allnigeriasoccer.com.

The 18-year old midfielder was also scouted by the likes of Bayern Munich and Barcelona but the youngster agreed to a deal in principle for 5-years with the Premier League outfit a few weeks earlier.

And it is now revealed that the midfielder will be officially unveiled in the next few days. The unveiling of the player, we understood to have been delayed due to the player’s participation in the U20 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

It is revealed that the midfielder will travel to London later in the week and the Academy chief at Arsenal revealed that he is ready to train with the squad after being declared fit to do so.

It is a great addition to the squad at Arsenal as they now have a potential leader who can dictate terms in the midfield in years to come.

He is a player who is comfortable with the ball at his feet and has already show that he is well matured beyond his years.

He recently helped the Nigerian U-18 side to a success in the World Cup in Chile last year and is a player who will fight for a place in the squad sooner rather than later.

However, at his age, he is not the right man to shoulder the responsibilities of the midfield of a club like Arsenal leaving the manager with more work to do this summer.
