Dutch club MVV Maastricht have confirmed the loan signing of Nigeria U20 international Kelechi Nwakali from Arsenal. Nwakali had to be recalled from a loan spell at VVV Venlo due to his lack of first-team opportunities, and has penned a deal that will keep him at MVV for the rest of the 2017-2018 campaign. ''Last season we have already seen that Kelechi is a multifunctional attacking midfielder, who has a nose for the 'final pass','' coach  Ron Elsen told  MVV's official website. ''He returns in an attacking and dominant way of playing, as MVV wants to use it. He can get away at '10', but also as a winger.  ''At VVV Venlo he has also shown at Eredivisie  that he can be of value for the team in which he plays.

That has absolutely weighed in our decision to bring him back to Maastricht.'' ...

Real Madrid Manager Zinedine Zidane has expressed support to France forward Karim Benzema, ahead of their Spanish Copa del Rey quarter final return leg against Leganes.  Real fans had whistled Benzema during the football club’s most recent Spanish La Liga match against Deportivo La Coruña. “He [Benzema] wanted to get back quickly and he’s back with the squad now. The only thing he enjoys really is being out with us on the pitch, so it’s good to have him back,”  GOAL  quoted Zidane as saying. “But it’s not good to see him getting whistled when he gets back. This has happened with him and could happen with others.  “What we need from the fans is that they’re with us. Of course, they’re within their rights; they’ve paid so can have opinions, but I want fans to be with us for 90 minutes.  “Karim will be available tomorrow [for the return leg].”  Real Madrid defeated Leganes 1-0 in the first leg.  The return leg will be played at Madrid.
