Nwakali leaves Arsenal without playing for the senior team.
Nigeria international Kelechi Nwakali has finally ended his stint at Arsenal to join Spanish Segunda Division (second division) side SD Huesca on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee.
The 20-year-old joined Arsenal in 2016 after his impressive performance at the 2015 FIFA U17 World Cup where he won the Golden Ball Award as the best player of the tournament after leading Nigeria to the title.
He never made any senior appearance for Arsenal as he spent all his time at the club on loan.
"It's been a good journey with Arsenal since 2016 despite never played (sic) any official game for them," he wrote on social media
"I have gained a lot from my time here and everybody involved with the club have been great to me.
"I just want to say a big thank you and goodbye, because it is time to move on, time for another chapter and another challenge."
