Coach Michel has insisted that Kelechi Nwakali has a future at SD Huesca despite their promotion to the top-flight of Spanish football.

According to Radio Huesca, Michel revealed that he won't close the door on Jaime Seoane, Joaquín Muñoz and Nwakali if they show they have the level to play in La Liga.

SD Huesca are in the market for a defensive midfielder and the possibility of the former Golden Eaglets and Flying Eagles skipper departing the club cannot be entirely ruled out as he would see himself fall down the pecking order if the Aragon outfit manage to get the deal over the line.

Nwakali impressed on his La Liga debut last weekend, coming off the bench for the last 28 minutes of Huesca's impressive 1-1 draw with Villarreal.

The 22-year-old is contracted to Huesca, whom he joined from Arsenal in 2019, until the summer of 2022.

Last season, Nwakali could only made five appearances in the La Liga2 due to visa issues which is now fully resolved.
