No Debut For Arsenal Loanee Nwakali; Expected To Depart London Next Week

Arsenal midfielder Kelechi Nwakali, 18, will not make his competitive debut for MVV Maastricht in Friday’s league game against FC Eindhoven and this is official.

The Dutch second-tier outfit have confirmed via their official webpage that the Nigeria U20 international is still in England because his papers are not yet in order, or in other words, he has not yet been granted a work permit.

All things being equal, Kelechi Nwakali will travel to the Netherlands next week, the club have announced.

MVV Maastricht pulled off a transfer coup on the final day of the summer transfer window by signing the talented midfielder on a season-long loan from Arsenal.

Ahead of Nwakali’s trip to the Limburg province, he trained with the first team of Arsenal on Wednesday morning.
