Championship Clubs Battle For Okonkwo

Charlton Athletic and Bolton Wanderers have reportedly expressed interest in signing Wrexham goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo.

Okonkwo’s future at Wrexham is uncertain following the arrival of Anthony Patterson from Sunderland this summer.

Patterson is expected to become the Red Dragons’ new first-choice goalkeeper, which could see the Nigerian seek a move away from the club in search of regular playing time.

According to Sports Illustrated, the 24-year-old is expected to leave Wrexham before the end of the current transfer window, with Charlton and Bolton among the clubs linked with his services.

Okonkwo initially joined Wrexham on loan from Arsenal in 2023 before later making his move permanent.

The goalkeeper has made 108 league appearances for Wrexham over the last three campaigns and featured 39 times for the club last season.

Okonkwo has one year remaining on his contract with the Red Dragons.

At international level, he has earned two caps for Nigeria.
