Nigeria contact Arsenal man over international switch from England

Arsenal’s Arthur Okonkwo is currently out on loan with Wrexham, fighting at the top of League Two.

The goalkeeper impressed with Crewe Alexandra and Sturm Graz last season, and he seems to be doing well again with his new club.


But for the time being, Okonkwo’s club progress isn’t leading to international opportunities with England. It’s been over four years since the 22-year-old was involved with the England u18s, and it seems his head is now being turned.

Own Goal Nigeria report that Nigeria boss Jose Peseiro has made contact with Okonkwo ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations in January.

Okonkwo would be eligible to make the nationality switch to Nigeria, and he’s reportedly indicated to Peseiro a willingness to do just that.


Peseiro has been tracking Okonkwo for a while, and the hope is that the Arsenal man will be cleared by the time AFCON comes around.

As well as Peseiro, former Nigeria Football Federation president Amaju Pinnick apparently “put in a word” for Okonkwo.

Over a season and a bit in senior football, Okonkwo has made 52 appearances and kept 20 clean sheets. It’s been a strong start to the goalkeeper’s first-team career, and it’s little wonder Nigeria would look to lure him away.

  Arsenal have the chance to move top of the Premier League table as they host Brighton this afternoon. It may only be for a couple of hours, with leaders Liverpool in action against Manchester United later in the day, but the opportunity is there for the Gunners to put some added pressure on Jurgen Klopp's side. Mikel Arteta will be looking for a response from his players after defeat to Aston Villa last weekend, just the second time Arsenal have lost in the League this season. After a dead rubber Champions League match in midweek, the likes of Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice should return to the starting XI against Brighton, with Gabriel Martinelli available again after illness. The Seagulls come into this match on a high after beating Marseille to top their Europa League group.
