The two youngsters were part of the Nigerian team that won the Under-17 World Cup in November last year.
Kelechi Nwakali and Samuel Chukwueze, are very close to signing for Arsenal, after they were pictured with manager Arsene Wenger and CEO, Ivan Gazidis.
The duo also posed with their compatriot, Kanu Nwankwo, who also played for the Gunners.
Wenger had confirmed that Nwakali and Chukuweze were set to complete a £3million move to the Emirates, in his Friday press conference.
Arsenal have seen off competition from Bayern Munich and Manchester City, to land the duo from Diamond Football Academy in Umuahia, Abia.
Nwakali was named Player of the Tournament at the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Chile, where he captained the Nigerian team to victory, while Chukwueze scored three times.
