Unfortunately it would seem he played for Porto B and this would be the ultimate confirmation that he is with the second division side, not the main side. The bonus is that if he plays very well he could get games for the first team.

Apparently Nwakali was a livewire and way better than anyone else on the field.

He posted the FK he scored on his IG.

But is Porto B not the team he signed for? That much was clear at his signing, if I recollect correctly.

Who is this Nwakali's agent? As a matter of fact who are the agents for our Nigerian players? The guys I see on the field day in day out in all the European Leagues are no better than our most of our boys; Awniyi, The Nawkalis, Alanpasun, and lost of others; yet they can't seem to find a job with the premier first teams of the European countries? Why is that?

We're biased when it comes to our boys, they look good to us but the fact remains that they're just not good enough for the top teams yet. Etebo, our supposed best player at the wc is at a championship team, we just don't have the quality we think we have.

You're wrong. The difference is that if a player like Nwakali was Brazilian he would have played a couple of seasons in Brazil then transferred to Europe for 20 mln EUR. Nwakali is all that, obviously. But he made a few poor decisions (like signing for Arsenal instead of a second tier club first) and just made the path much harder for himself.

The guy is pure quality. Anyone with half a brain can see he has world class potential.

He isn't a bad or untalented player but not being a European means he has to be twice as good as his contemporaries. Porto B isn't a bad place to be - at least it's not Malta or Slovakia - he plays well he'll make the first team and all eyes are always on them.

One thing: I don't care how well his career goes or how he is progressing, but he is by far Nigeria's best freekickj taker and it would be imbecilic not to invite him to the national side for that trait alone.

It would be imbecilic to think that is only strength.

I do not understand why he is not in the main Porto team. Is there any reason for this?

He could barely cut it at Venlo and the Dutch 2nd Div coach said he has to learn how to play both
Sides of the field. Porto B is the best place for now.

You and I know that is a nonsense. Players far worse than Kelechi are playing in the Portuguese league!

Not true. At VVV he was the best player whenever he played. He was a victim of politics, as all loanees at the club got the short end of the stick due to internal fighting. All loanees were shafted wholesale.

the kelechi is one of the most hyped player ever. already 20 and yet to make a single noise in Europe, already a journey man... however you can catch him on IG 24/7.. the annoying part, is the bobo is a very good footballer

Hopefully he can show he's better than a B team player and get some time with the senior team...

You sound like me

I hope this guy doesn’t turn into another Rabiu Ibrahim or Haruna Lukmon!

Training with the first team

I don't know what to make of this! While Porto B were playing Gil Vicente, Kelechi was training with the first team squad. Is that temporary or permanent?
I believe he will eventually get his chance with the main team as Porto always promote their best young players to the first team e.g. Adrien Silva, Awaziem, Dalot etc.
