Arsenal are close to agreeing deals to sign Nigeria

under-17 prospects Kelechi Nwakali and Samuel

Chukwueze, sources have told ESPN FC.

A host of Europe's top clubs have been tracking

Nwakali and Chukwueze after they impressed in

helping Nigeria win last year's FIFA U17 World

Cup in Chile.



Manchester City -- who Nwakali's brother

Chidiebere is contracted to -- and Bayern Munich

have been credited with an interest in the

midfield pair, but Arsenal are in pole position to

land the exciting duo.



Nwakali, 17, was named as player of the

tournament at the U17 World Cup, while

Chukwueze, 16, also impressed for the Golden

Eaglets.



Sources have told ESPN FC that talks are at an

advanced stage between Arsenal and the two

teenagers, and the Gunners are hopeful of

securing the duo before the close of the January

transfer window.
