Leeds United are in the transfer market chopping for another central midfielder badly this summer, and Kelechi Nwakalai though may not a popular name yet could prove to be a quality addition to the squad.
Nwakali signed for Arsenal in the summer of 2016 but was farmed out on loan to Maastricht, Venlo and Porto B before his release in September 2019 without a first-team appearance to his name.
Nwakali was the star of the under-17 World Cup in 2015, leading the Golden Eaglets to the title as the captain and leaving with the Golden Ball Award.
Leeds need a player that can drive the team from the middle and brings verve and quality to the table, and they could get one in the Nigerian.
Back in May 2018, Nwakali was part of the Nigeria B team that gave Atletico Madrid stars a run for their money in a friendly 3-2 defeat, with the midfielder dictating the flow of the game and crowning his brilliant performance in the middle of the park with a worldie that left the brilliant Jan Oblak helpless.
Admittedly, signing him would be a gamble, but it could end up being a masterstroke given his huge potential we believe it is the type of risks Leeds should be taking.
Nwakali will not cost an arm and a leg, and we all know what Whites head coach Marcelo Bielsa is capable of doing with talented players under his tutelage
