Charlton sign Wrexham keeper Okonkwo on loan

Charlton Athletic has signed goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo on a season-long loan from Wrexham. The 24-year-old Nigerian international has kept 46 clean sheets in 121 games for Wrexham since joining them in 2023 on loan. Okonkwo made 39 Championship appearances last season but did not feature in their opening league match against Cardiff City.

Charlton's managing director, James Rodwell, praised Okonkwo as an outstanding goalkeeper with proven ability, expressing excitement about his potential impact for the club this season. This marks the eighth signing for Charlton during the summer transfer window.
