Quick Facts
Name: Chidiebere Chijioke Nwakali
Age: 18
Height: 1.73m
Position: Defensive midfield/Right Back/Center Back
Club: Malagueno (on loan from Manchester City)
Chidiebere Nwakali is an all-action box-to-box midfielder whose energy never seems to fade during games. Though still needs to improve on his concentration, Nwakali’s ball winning ability far supersedes his years and having spent time at Manchester City’s Elite Development Program before being sent on loan to Spain, he is expected to improve and get better with more game time.
Nwakali’s younger brother, Kelechi, is the present Nigeria U17 captain.
Key Strengths
Nwakali, even though a natural holding midfielder, can play in a variety of positions across the back four and has often been deployed as either a right back or a center back. One of his key strengths remains his ball winning and retention ability.
Nwakali can keep possession of the ball if his team is looking at protecting a lead, and also has the energy to burst forward to create attacks, or to gazump opponents and win possession if they are under attack.
