Young Nigerian player Samuel Chukwueze is set to snub Arsenal to join
Portuguese club FC Porto. Chukwueze
and fellow Nigeria Under-17 starlet Kelechi Nwakali were pictured with
Arsene Wenger and former Gunners star Nwankwo Kanu ahead of the
pair finalising long-term deals with the club which has fallen
through but Porto is set to sign the talented Samuel Chukwueze
according to a report by Sun UK. Read the report after the cut...
'It appears a deal has now fallen through for Chukwueze and that the youngster will instead commit his future to Porto.
'Chukwueze’s
Nigerian club Diamond Academy haggled with the Gunners over a fee for
him as Wenger and the club grew frustrated at a lack of movement over a
deal which would have seen the youngster bank £7,000 a month.'
'But
days ago the deal appeared to have collapsed over Diamond Academy’s
desire the net more cash for him with the player now reportedly having
grown tired of the deal dragging on.'
'He had
the choice of two of Europe’s finest finishing schools and turned down a
move to French club Monaco in favour of a move to Portugal.
President of Diamond Academy Martin Apugo said: “Chukwueze is going to FC Porto not Monaco.'
“They are waiting for him to sign the papers but he couldn’t travel because he is with the Flying Eagles.
“We don’t know the length of contract he will sign until we get to Portugal.”
