News about Arthur Okonkwo

Wrexham face a battle with Premier League and Championship clubs as they try to land loan star Arthur Okonkwo on a permanent this summer. The 22-year-old goalkeeper was crucial in the Hollywood-backed side's promotion to League One, playing 38 games on loan from Arsenal in all competitions. Mail Sport understands no offer is on the table - or forthcoming - from the Gunners with the shot-stopper's contract expiring this summer, and as such no compensation would be required, making him an attractive proposition for a host of teams.

Wrexham's manager Mike Williamson was trollshed on social media over a contentious goalline call that was in favor of the Welsh team. Before Dan Kemp's equalizer, James McClean scored for the visitors at Stadium mk on Tuesday night, although both teams were limited to ten men with red cards for Dean Lewington and William Boyle. However, the League Two match may be remembered for a close call in which MK Dons might have had a winner, with Wrexham goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo appearing to have mistakenly taken the ball beyond his own goal line.

Exclusively BY NATHAN SALT: The news that star goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo is facing weeks rather than months on the sidelines has boosted Wrexham's hopes of securing a double promotion. After breaking his jaw in the first half of a recent 2-2 draw away to Harrogate Town, the 22-year-old saw a specialist on Monday. As he was forced off, and replaced in goal by veteran deputy Mark Howard, Okonkwo took a knee to the chest and looked in deep pain.

After registering was not submitted before Friday's 11 p.m. deadline, Wrexham's club record move for Harrogate Town striker Luke Armstrong has dramatically collapsed. Armstrong, who is said to have been in the region of £500,000, had decided to move to North Wales on Deadline Day, following MK Dons' interest. Armstrong went on strike last month in an attempt to compel his way out of Harrogate, but he will now have to return after the EFL ruled his transfer to Wrexham void.

SIMON JONES: Wrexham is looking for a new goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo, who spent last season on loan with Strumgraz in Austria and was a former England U18 international. Okonkwo, who stands at 6ft 7ins, has yet to appear on Mikel Arteta's senior team so far, but he has 32 appearances for the U21s and U18s, although he rose through the ranks in north London.

Arsenal is monitoring developments with Raphinha at Barcelona, but the Brazilian intends to remain as it stands. The 26-year-old joined the Nou Camp from Leeds over the summer and has made 23 appearances for Barca this season, scoring three goals. Arsenal could be back in the Premier League as Arsenal looks to add attacking depth in their quest for their first title in 19 years.
