FIFA approves England based goalkeeper’s switch to Nigeria
By Tosin Omojola
The Federation of International Football Association (FIFA), has approved the switching of goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo from England to Nigeria.
The 24-year-old, who previously represented England at youth level, is now eligible to feature for Nigeria following confirmation on FIFA’s change of association platform.
Okonkwo, a product of Arsenal FC’s academy, joined Wrexham AFC after loan spells at Crewe Alexandra and Sturm Graz, and has since become the club’s first-choice goalkeeper. He has made over 100 appearances and played a key role in their successive promotions.
His switch adds depth to Nigeria’s goalkeeping options, with Okonkwo bringing experience and strong form into contention for future national team selections.
