Nigeria international goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo is being monitored by EFL Championship clubs Charlton Athletic and Bolton Wanderers, Sports Illustrated and PUNCH Sports Extra report. The transfer window is closing in two weeks. Okonkwo is currently behind Anthony Patterson and Danny Ward in goalkeeping order at Racecourse Ground after Wrexham signed Patterson from Sunderland for a club-record fee.
Okonkwo is in the final year of his contract with the Super Eagles and the Reds face the possibility of losing him for free next summer if no deal is reached. Okonkwo first joined Wrexham on loan during the 2023/24 season and signed a permanent deal the following year after 15 years at Arsenal. He was integral to Wrexham's promotions from League Two to the Championship, making 121 appearances and keeping 47 clean sheets while conceding 127 goals for the Welsh club.
Okonkwo also excelled on the international stage, helping Nigeria win the 2026 Unity Cup, where he kept clean sheets in wins against Zimbabwe and Jamaica.
