‘Anything is possible’: Midfielder won’t rule out possibility of re-joining Arsenal

Kelechi Nwakali has refused to rule out the possibility of making a return to Arsenal on Tribal Football.

The 22-year-old left Arsenal in 2019, after failing to obtain a work permit during his time at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal had signed Nwakali as a youngster after he captained Nigeria at the under-17 World Cup in 2015, but he never earned the international recognition required to earn himself a work-permit.

As a result Arsenal sent him out on a series of loan spells during his four year stint in North London.

Nwakali performed well in Portugal and Holland, as he got a great experience of playing across different European leagues.

The midfielder has now joined Huesca, after seeing his contract at Arsenal run down.

But when asked whether he would make a return to Arsenal, Nwakali was seemingly open to the suggestion.

“Anything is possible in football. I still talk to the Director of the Club,” Nwakali said.

If Nwakali is to get himself back on Arsenal’s radar then he will surely need to make a big impact at Huesca.

The Nigerian youth international is starting life in Spain’s second tier, so he has a long way to climb before he is ready to be signed by Arsenal again.

Nwakali is likely also to need to build his international caps up – he only has one so far – as that could be crucial to his hopes of getting a work permit in future years.
