If report reaching the sports desk of CEOAFRICA.com is anything to go by, then Golden Eaglets mercurial midfielder, Kelechi Iheanacho, could be on his way to joining Arsenal.

It was gathered that the English Premier League giant’s chief scout sent to UAE, Steve Rowley, has expressed deep satisfaction with the potentials of the wonder-kid.

According to his FIFA-licensed agent Henry Galeano, over twelve European top clubs have shown interest in snatching Iheanacho, but Arsenal hope to beat their fellow rivals to the signature of the attacking midfielder who has five goals and five assists to his credit.

Iheanacho is expected to be back against Uruguay on Saturday, although he suffered a knock during the round of 16 game with the Iranians. He scored the second goal of the match in the 27^th minute before making way for Ezeh.

Nigeria defeated Iran 4-1 in the encounter.
