Nigeria's goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo, currently at Wrexham, is being monitored by Championship clubs Charlton Athletic and Bolton Wanderers as the summer transfer window approaches, according to Sports Illustrated and PUNCH Sports Extra. The 27-year-old is behind new signing Anthony Patterson and experienced keeper Danny Ward in the goalkeeping hierarchy at Racecourse Ground.
This is following Wrexham's record signing of Patterson from Sunderland. With Okonkwo's contract expiring at the end of the season, Wrexham may have to sell him for nothing if a deal isn't struck before the current window or the January transfer deadline. Okonkwo began his career at Arsenal at the age of eight before moving to Wrexham on loan during the 2023/24 season and signing permanently the following year.
He played a crucial role in Wrexham's promotions from League Two to the Championship, making 121 appearances and keeping 47 clean sheets. Okonkwo also performed well for Nigeria, contributing to their success in the 2026 Unity Cup with clean sheets in matches against Zimbabwe and Jamaica.
