Arthur Okonkwo has risen to hero status at Wrexham during his loan spell this season, leading to intense competition among clubs vying for his signature.

Wrexham has achieved consecutive promotions, with Okonkwo playing a crucial role in their success this season.

Having progressed through Arsenal’s youth ranks, Okonkwo has been on the fringes of the first team for some time. However, with game time not guaranteed, he opted to move to Wrexham to gain valuable playing experience.

This decision has proved pivotal, as Okonkwo has emerged as one of the most sought-after players in England.

With his contract at the Emirates set to expire at the end of the season and no indication of Arsenal’s intention to retain him, Okonkwo’s status as a free agent has heightened interest from clubs.

According to a report in the Daily Mail, numerous Premier League and Championship clubs are now in the race to secure the goalkeeper’s services.

Additionally, Wrexham is keen on retaining Okonkwo following his standout performances, although convincing him to stay will be a formidable challenge amidst the fierce competition for his signature.

Just Arsenal Opinion

Arthur Okonkwo has been a fine member of our youth team before now and he has a good future ahead of him, but he is not good enough for our first team and should leave.
