Nwakali poses with Thierry Henry at Arsenal

Nigeria’s youth sensation, Kelechi Nwankali, at the weekend posed in a photo session with Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry at the Emirates.

Nwakali, who is on the verge of completing a deal with Arsenal, captained the Golden Eaglets to win the U-17 World Cup and was voted the player of the tournament.

Nwakali has compared his style of play to that of Yaya Toure and at just 17 years of age, it is quite clear that Arsenal have landed a special talent.
