English Championship club Wrexham A.F.C. have sent warm congratulations to their goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo after reports of his invitation to join Nigeria’s senior national team, the Super Eagles, for the upcoming Unity Cup.
Hours ago, the NFF released the squad list, but Wrexham had already acknowledged the news on Tuesday, celebrating what is expected to be the 23-year-old goalkeeper’s first senior international call-up.
“Congratulations to Arthur Okonkwo on receiving his first call up to the Nigeria squad ahead of the Unity Cup,” the club wrote on its official social media platforms.
Okonkwo, who has impressed for Wrexham this season with consistent performances between the posts, is now expected to be part of the Super Eagles team for the Unity Cup, which will be staged in London later this month.
The tournament is seen as an important opportunity for Nigeria to test a blend of home-based and overseas players as preparations continue for future competitions. Okonkwo’s inclusion is regarded as a major step forward in his growing career.
Fans of Wrexham and Nigerian football supporters will be watching closely as the young goalkeeper looks to make an impact on the international stage during the London-based competition.
