As first reported by The Athletic, Leeds United are looking to strengthen their midfield and have identified the former Flying Eagles and Golden Eaglets skipper as an option.
English Premier League new boys Watford are also weighing up a move for Nwakali who is contracted to SD Huesca until June 30, 2022.
Allnigeriasoccer.com can confirm that Leeds United and Watford are exploring ways to sign Nwakali but face competition from La Liga duo Osasuna and Levante.
SD Huesca were delighted with the progress made by the Nigerian youngster during his loan spell at Alcorcón and have attempted to fend off interest shown in the versatile midfielder by offering him a new contract.
Nwakali would not have wasted time to sign on the dotted line if The Azulgranas were not demoted to the second-tier at the end of last season.
The 23-year-old has ambitions to represent the Super Eagles at next year's World Cup and is aware that he must be playing for a top-flight European club to be considered for selection by manager Gernot Rohr.
Nwakali departed Arsenal in the summer of 2019 without
playing a single game for the first team because he couldn't sort out
his papers.
