Arsenal Whizzkid Nwakali Expecting Super Eagles Coach Rohr To Ring Him Up

Arsenal wonderkid Kelechi Nwakali is dismayed over his snub by Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr, and is expecting the German to consider him when he names future national team rosters.

To call a spade a spade, the Nigeria U20 skipper might be shipped out on loan by the Gunners for a second consecutive season because he does not fulfill all the requirements to play in the Premier League.

The 3.5 million euros fee Arsenal paid to snap up the attacking midfielder and his yearly wages are inconsequential for him to be granted a work permit by the Home Office.

''Where we are having problems now is they have not invited Kelechi to the national team, we know how things work in Nigeria,'' Kelechi's adviser Allwell Nwakali told allnigeriasoccer.com.

''He has been excellent for his team, playing well wherever he is. If they can call him up, the permit process will be so easy for us. I cannot influence his invitation.''

Last season, Leicester City and Watford managed to close the deals for Wilfred Ndidi and Isaac Success respectively despite not playing 75 percent of Super Eagles matches because the two Premier League teams forked out hefty sums plus wages for their services.
