Former Arsenal midfielder Kelechi Nwakali has opened up on his time at Spanish side SD Huesca after his contract was terminated. Nwakali played for Arsenal between 2016 and 2019, although he never made a first team appearance for the club.
The Nigeria international claims that Huesca sporting director Ruben Garcia put pressure on him not to go to AFCON, paid him late on many occasions and banned him from the club's training ground whilst being owed wages. 23-year-old Nwakali featured for the Super Eagles at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations and his contract was expected to run until the summer.
The statement reads: “It comes with huge regret that I am writing this message after SD Huesca announced the termination of my contract. I have kept silent out of respect for the Huesca fans and my teammates, but I will no longer suffer in silence. The time has come for people to know the truth and why these past few months have been awful for me and my family.
