Arsenal goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo opens up about his initial reservations regarding a move to Wrexham, despite the club’s recent promotion from the National League.

In the third episode of season three of Welcome to Wrexham, Okonkwo shares his candid thoughts about the decision-making process, admitting to being “not too sure” initially.

Despite attracting interest from Championship and European clubs, Okonkwo found himself uncertain about the move. However, after discussions with manager Phil Parkinson and the goalie coach, he became convinced that Wrexham was the right destination for him.

Reflecting on his decision to join the Welsh club after loan spells at Sturm Graz and Crewe Alexandra, Okonkwo emphasizes the importance of personal conviction in making career moves.

With 14 clean sheets in 36 appearances and a spot in the League Two Team of the Season, Okonkwo’s successful loan spell has sparked interest from Wrexham in securing his permanent signature from Arsenal.

The Red Dragons, backed by owners Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, may leverage Okonkwo’s loan success to attract talented youngsters from the Premier League in future transfer dealings, potentially strengthening their squad cost-effectively.

As speculation surrounds Okonkwo’s future, Wrexham remains eager to secure his permanent services, aiming to build on their recent promotion to League Two.
