Kelechi Nwakali has been rated Arsenal second best loanee by highly
respected online website Squawka in their rankings of the 22 players
who left Arsenal on loan last season.
Nwakali spent last season on
loan to Dutch second division side MVV Maastricht where he
distinguished himself even though the team failed to gain promotion to
the top division.
“There is much hype surrounding the Nigerian
youth international and with good reason. Nwakali was a major success in
the Dutch second tier with Maastricht as he dribbled past opponents
with regularity and also showed some signs of improvement defensively”, a
piece on their site reads.
In
their ratings Squawka placed him ahead of other illustrious names like
Chuba Akpom, Joel Campbell, Calum Chambers and Jack Wilshere but second
behind Wojciech Szczesny.
Szczesny made 38 league appearances for
Roma keeping 14 clean sheers in the process more than any other
goalkeeper in the Italian Serie A last season. Which has lead to talks
of a potential move to Juventus.
