People in charge of Spanish club SD Huesca have terminated the contract of Super Eagles midfielder Kelechi Nwakali in what will come as heartbreaking development for the player.

The club made the announcement with the photo of the Nigerian player posted on their official Twitter account.

He had been on a collision course with the team’s coach Xisco Munoz ever since and was also reported to have rejected an opportunity to move to Burgos.
