Allnigeriasoccer.com has been informed that Portuguese powerhouse Porto are in talks with Premier League side Arsenal over the transfer of ex-Nigeria U20 skipper Kelechi Nwakali.

Negotiations are at an advanced stage and Porto are hoping to conclude a season-long loan deal before they begin their pre-season preparations.

Nwakali's camp claim that the midfielder has already agreed personal terms with the 28-time Primeira Liga champions and the player is now awaiting approval from the Gunners hierarchy before flying to Portugal in the next few days.

Arsenal say they cannot process a work permit for Nwakali because he was omitted from Nigeria's 23-man World Cup roster, so another loan move is definitely on the cards.

Since the former Golden Eaglets captain turned professional, he has played his best football at MVV Maastricht, scoring 7 goals in 52 appearances in two different loan spells with the Dutch club.

The 20-year-old Kelechi Nwakali is contracted to Arsenal until June 30, 2021.

Excellent move if true.

The beginning of the end for the "YOUNG" man

Good news, hope there is option to buy included.

Great news if it goes through. It's time the boy lived up to his potential.

Same Porto that loaned out Agu, Yayaha and Awaziem......................Our players should be playing not riding bench.

Your Naija brothers never learn. It's so sad
All of them are praising the move without any reference to history

No wonder the Argies are having a field day with SE at world cup

doubt porto will take on a young player on loan. I can see them buying or looking for a loan-to-buy agreement though

will he be playing or chopping bench

this should be the focus. I think he will be better with a mid-range to bottom team in the Primeira Liga
