Nigeria U20 international Kelechi Nwakali is gradually bring introduced to the rigours of professional football.

The Arsenal loanee made his third consecutive appearance for MVV Maastricht in all competitions when he replaced Kuipers in the 77th minute of their 2-1 loss to Almere City in the Eerste Divisie on Friday night.

On his debut against Ajax Amsterdam II last Friday , the attacking midfielder appeared off the bench in injury time, then logged 16 minutes in the Cup tie with Volendam four days later.

Relatively, it was a long wait for MVV manager Ron Elsen to begin running the rule over Nwakali, following his arrival in the Netherlands ten days after the transfer was announced due to work permit issues.

The talented Nigerian will spend the remainder of this season at MVV.
