Nwakali Urges Huesca Stronger Push For Promotion To Laliga Santander

Nigeria international, Kelechi Nwakali, is already looking forward to playing in the Laliga Santander next season, urging his teammates at SD Huesca to remain focused as the race gets keener.

Nwakali is still determined to help Huesca secure promotion at the end of the campaign despite their slim 1-0 defeat his club suffered away to Racing Santander on Saturday

The former Arsenal youth player was a 71st minute substitute for Pedro Mosquera, but could not rescue them as Huesca fell to Racing Santander at the Estadio El Sardinero.

Despite the loss, the 22-year-old wants Huesca to shift all of their concentration on to their next two games which will make or mar their entire 2019/20 campaign.

Huesca are currently second on 64 points in the 22-team Laliga Smartbank table, five points behind leaders,Cadiz, who are on 69 points. The first and second-placed teams at the end of the campaign gain direct promotion to the Laliga Santander while the third to the sixth-placed teams will go into playoffs for the third promotion spot.

Nwakali took to the Social Media to motivate his teammates, saying that they can do it.

“Two games to LaLiga, eyes on the price, come on Huesca,” He posted on Instagram.

The attacking midfielder since joining the club from Arsenal last year September has made only three Segunda Liga appearances, clocking 56 minutes without a goal or assist.
