Former captain of Nigeria U17, U20 and U23 Kelechi Nwakali has hit out at his time at Portuguese side FC Porto where he spent time on loan.
In an interview with the BBC, the Huesca midfielder who made his bow for the team in their opening La Liga game last weekend against Huesca which ended in a 1-1 draw termed his loan move to Porto as one filled with regrets.
The 22 year old said the whole experience in Porto was entire different from what he was expecting when he decided to make the loan move from Arsenal.
“I regret making the move, that was a mistake from me and the agency,” he admitted.
“They (agency) have a lot of players and I needed to go to another place where they have my interest at heart and where they can focus on me.
“I was told when I moved that I would train and play with the first team and there was an option to buy me on a permanent deal which sounded good.
“But after three months of training with the first team, it wasn’t looking like I would join the first team any time soon”, he told BBC.
He also confirmed that he now plays multiple roles at Huesca as first reported by this portal. He however said he can still play in his preferred number ten role but it depends on the coach.
“As the season progresses, I believe I am going to play more, right now I also play as a Number 4, the coach is trying to see the roles for which he can always feature me’ he explains.
