Spanish journalist Raphael Sanz says Kelechi Nwakali is finally delivering on the promises that made him the Most Valuable Player at the 2015 U17 World Cup.
Nwakali has had a turbulent club career and after four mixed time out on loan from Arsenal, the team decided to let him leave for free for Spanish side Huesca last year.
Huesca secured promotion to the top flight in Spain and Nwakali was tipped to have his breakthrough in a top league but that didn’t happen leading him to be loaned out to second division side Alcorcon.
At Alcorcon he has found his range with back to back goals in two consecutive league games helping them up the table as they continue to push for an escape from the drop to the third division.
Sanz who broke the news of Nwakali’s move via Owngoalnigeria.com was full of nothing but praises for the 22 year old terming him as the star of the team.
“ He is the star of the team. They rely on him for almost everything and it’s like that responsibility is helping him grow. He takes set pieces including penalties for them. For now he is their most important player. He is showing his class on a consistent basis now”, he said.
