Wrexham have celebrated a remarkable milestone for their Super Eagles-eligible goalkeeper, Arthur Okonkwo, who has kept an impressive 17 clean sheets this season in Sky Bet League One. 

The 23-year-old former Arsenal goalkeeper has continued his outstanding form from last season, where he helped Wrexham secure promotion from League Two and earned a place in the Team of the Season.

This season, Okonkwo has maintained his high standards by keeping 17 clean sheets in 30 League One matches, conceding just 22 goals as Wrexham push for another promotion.

The club proudly announced on social media that “No goalkeeper has kept more clean sheets in Sky Bet League One this season than Arthur Okonkwo.”

Okonkwo’s performances have sparked ongoing speculation about a potential call-up to the Nigerian national team. 

Since switching his international allegiance from England to Nigeria, he has been available for selection, with Nigeria seeking to bolster competition for goalkeepers Stanley Nwabali and Maduka Okoye.

Fans have also expressed their admiration for Okonkwo’s contributions. One supporter commented, “Nice, well done, Arthur. Now finish this season strong.” 

Another described him as “My Player of the Season,” adding that “Big Arthur is the main reason Wrexham performed so well this season. Our defence always looks much more settled with him behind them, plus he just picks off so many corners and crosses. Such a keeper and still only a young one. Looking forward to see him progress.”

Another fan highlighted the significance of his clean sheets, saying, “An amazing metric considering how many times our centre-backs have been caught out, couldn’t keep pace or mark up, have committed handballs or penalties this season. Max and Okonkwo have been spectacular this season!”

With the season approaching its end, all eyes remain on Okonkwo as he continues to be a key figure in Wrexham’s campaign and a promising prospect for the Super Eagles.
