Arsenal are close to agreeing deals to sign Nigeria under-17 prospects Kelechi Nwakali and Samuel Chukwueze, sources have told ESPN FC.

A host of Europe's top clubs have been tracking Nwakali and Chukwueze after they impressed in helping Nigeria win last year's FIFA U17 World Cup in Chile.

Manchester City -- who Nwakali's brother Chidiebere is contracted to -- and Bayern Munich have been credited with an interest in the midfield pair, but Arsenal are in pole position to land the exciting duo.

Nwakali, 17, was named as player of the tournament at the U17 World Cup, while Chukwueze, 16, also impressed for the Golden Eaglets.

Sources have told ESPN FC that talks are at an advanced stage between Arsenal and the two teenagers, and the Gunners are hopeful of securing the duo before the close of the January transfer window.

Nwakali, Chukwueze and Egypt international Mohamed Elneny are set to be the only signings made by Arsenal during this month's transfer window, sources have told ESPN FC.

nice

Good for Him though

God don pick the call of those boys.

On the lighter side, Pa Wenger goes around the world looking for players he can buy for 5 thousand dollars. If dem allow am sef, he fit buy players for OLX.

I Do & Always Will All Time Wish Them Well! At Thesame Time Would've Prefered Them Going To A Less Concentrated Club In Europ First, Instead Of The The Big Teams Come Calling For Them Now. Because Some Things Must Be Put Into Consideration, Which Most Of Us Know Much About And Will Surely Surface As Time Goes On In Big Gun Teams...
