After discussions with Arsenal over his future at the club, Kelechi Nwakali is set for a second loan spell and this time the Nigeria youth international wants to go to the Bundesliga.

Nigerian starlet Samuel Chukwueze was all set to join Arsenal in 2016, but the deal unexpectedly collapsed.

It was a successful finish to an eventful weekend of European football for Arsenal’s players out on-loan.

Kelechi Nwakali scored his third goal of the season to help MVV Maastricht earn a 1-1 draw against SC Cambuur in the first leg of their play-off semi-final clash on Thursday evening.

It was an encouraging start to the weekend for Arsenal’s loanees in action.

With the 2016/17 campaign nearing completion across Europe’s top leagues, minutes for Arsenal’s players out on-loan were scarce this weekend.
