Agent Shoots Down Rumours Linking Nwakali With Move To Norway; Viking Coach Unaware
Published: August 24, 2016
Kelechi Nwakali’s bonafide intermediary has moved quickly to dismiss reports linking the Nigeria youth-teamer with a transfer to Norwegian Tippeligaen club Viking in the January transfer window.
It is a foregone conclusion that the central midfielder will be farmed out on loan to a club outside England in the coming months if the Gunners fail to secure a work permit for their new acquisition, but Allwell Nwakali has ruled out a transfer to Viking.
“That particular website should stop writing stories to tarnish the image of my brother, they first wrote that Arsenal will pay a transfer fee of 300,000 pounds for Kelechi, ” an angry Allwell Nwakali told allnigeriasoccer.com.
“The information that he is joining Viking is fake, Kelechi is at Arsenal, training and working hard.
“If Arsenal can’t get him a work permit, he will go where we want him to go. How can I be approached by clubs in Holland and France and allow him to sign for Viking. ”
Allnigeriasoccer.com editorial staff personally contacted Viking coach Kjell Jonevret, and the Swede says he is unaware of the reports linking the club with a move for Nwakali, adding that the information has to be clarified by his director.
Viking have going concern issues at the moment and are finding it difficult to pay their players’ wages, and will continue struggling unless they get big investment.
