Wrexham have completed permanent signing of Arthur Okonkwo
ARTHUR OKONKWO held talks with other clubs but the goalkeeper says re-joining Wrexham “made the most sense” and he’s delighted to sign for a team that’s “on the up”.
The 22-year-old enjoyed a successful season-long spell at The Racecourse from Arsenal in 2023-24 and has agreed a contract until the end of the 2026-27 campaign following his release by the Premier League giants.
Phil Parkinson was eager to complete the permanent signing of Okonkwo who made 40 appearances in all competitions last season, keeping 16 clean sheets, as Wrexham finished finished runners-up in League Two to secure back-to-back promotions for the first time in the club’s history, but he faced competition from other clubs.
