Arsene Wenger to Sign Two Nigerian Players on monday


Two popular Nigerian players will possibly be unveiled by Arsenal Football Club of England, according to a hint given by the club's manager.


Kelechi Nwakali and Samuel Chukwueze

Arsène Wenger is confident that Arsenal will complete the signings of the Nigeria youth internationals Kelechi Nwakali and Samuel Chukwueze before the transfer deadline on Monday, according to The Guardian.

But the manager suggested he would make no senior additions to supplement the purchase of Mohamed Elneny as the club’s injury situation had improved significantly.

Wenger goes into Saturday’s FA Cup tie at home to Burnley with only Santi Cazorla and Jack Wilshere as long-term casualties. Francis Coquelin is back in contention weeks ahead of schedule after a knee problem and Tomas Rosicky also back from knee trouble.

Danny Welbeck has returned to full training, having been out since April of last year with a knee injury, but he will need a few more weeks before he is competitive again.

Wenger said that David Ospina would start in goal against Burnley and he is expected to give Elneny, who joined two weeks ago from Basel, his full debut.

Per Mertesacker is suspended after his red card in the home loss to Chelsea last Sunday.
