Nwakali Gets Another Chance To Save His Career

The former Golden Eaglets star has struggled for game time this season, but he has been offered an escape route in the Spanish second division

Kelechi Nwakali has left Huesca to join Spanish second division side Alcorcon on a loan deal till the end of the season.

A statement on the club website read: Kelechi Nwakali (Nigeria. 06/05/1998) is a new potter player until the end of the season on loan from SD Huesca.

Nwakali came into limelight after leading the Golden Eaglets to the 2015 u-17 World Cup. However, his senior career has failed to kick-off with the 22-year-old struggles well documented.

His time at Huesca this season has been disappointing with just seven appearances in all competitions for the Spanish top-flight basement side.

The move to Alcorcon offers him another opportunity to salvage his career. However, he has his work cut out at the Spanish second division side.

Alcorcon sits last in La Liga Smartbank table with just 20 points from 23 games. Nwakali will hope to help his new side avoid the drop.

The former Arsenal youth star is not new to the Spanish second division having featured in Huesca’s promotion success last season.
