Staunch Gunners Fan Kelechi Wants Arsenal To Sign Super Eagles Stars Ndidi, Chukwueze

Staunch Arsenal fan Dr. Kelechi Anyikude has suggested that the Gunners should make a move for Nigeria internationals Wilfred Ndidi and Samuel Chukwueze.

Chukwueze was on the brink of joining Arsenal in 2016, only for the deal to fall through after his Nigerian club Diamond Academy and the Emirates Stadium outfit failed to reach an agreement on the financial details.

The Super Eagles winger has established a reputation as one of the most promising youngsters in the Spanish La Liga and he's back on the radar of Arsenal ahead of the opening of the transfer window.

Arsenal were linked with a move for Ndidi in the January transfer window but they did not firm up their interest in the holding midfielder by making an official bid to Leicester City.

Quizzed on the Super Eagles player he would take to the Emirates Stadium, Kelechi told CHLY 101.7 FM reporter Geedolz : "Ndidi, that guy is a machine. After Ndidi, Chukwueze.

"Chukwueze is not quite similar to Nicolas Pepe. He should know when to release the ball, a split second in football is very vital, that can cause offside, the timing should be right.

"But again it's a learning process for him and he would definitely become good, I like Chukwueze."

Chukwueze and Ndidi have admitted they were Chelsea fans in their formative years as footballers.
