Nigeria U-17 star, Samuel Chukwueze, rejected what his representatives described as “peanuts” from Austrian club, Red Bull Salzburg, to join Arsenal along with Kelechi Nwakali.
Earlier in January, the forward and his mother travelled to Austria to negotiate with the club, but were not impressed with the deal they got.
“Chukwueze has a better chance of developing at Red Bull, but there was no comparison between what the Austrian club tabled and what Arsenal are willing to cough out,” a source familiar with this transaction told AfricanFootball.
Both Chukwueze and Nwakali are already in London, where they are expected to complete their transfer to the Gunners.
