under-17 prospects Kelechi Nwakali and Samuel
Chukwueze, sources have told ESPN FC.
A host of Europe's top clubs have been tracking
Nwakali and Chukwueze after they impressed in
helping Nigeria win last year's FIFA U17 World
Cup in Chile.
Manchester City -- who Nwakali's brother
Chidiebere is contracted to -- and Bayern Munich
have been credited with an interest in the
midfield pair, but Arsenal are in pole position to
land the exciting duo.
Nwakali, 17, was named as player of the
tournament at the U17 World Cup, while
Chukwueze, 16, also impressed for the Golden
Eaglets.
Sources have told ESPN FC that talks are at an
advanced stage between Arsenal and the two
teenagers, and the Gunners are hopeful of
securing the duo before the close of the January
transfer window.
