Arsenal have confirmed the signing of Nigeria youngster Kelechi Nwakali from the Diamond Football Academy in Nigeria on a five-year deal.
The 18-year-old attacking midfielder has been linked with the club since January but was not formalized until Friday evening.
Nwakali was named the Fifa U17 World Cup player of the tournament in Chile in 2015 after a resounding performance with Nigeria and had caught the attention of the North London club.
Reports also suggested that the deal could not be finalized earlier due to the international rules on age but the Gunners having sealed the deal confirmed that the youngster would go out on loan for the season.
