Wrexham have taken to social media to congratulate goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo after receiving his first senior Super Eagles call-up, with the 24-year-old included in Eric Chelle’s squad for this summer’s Unity Cup in London.
The Championship club on Wednesday issued an official statement congratulating the goalkeeper on the milestone, which comes after FIFA cleared him to represent Nigeria in April.
“Congratulations to Arthur Okonkwo on receiving his first call up to the Nigeria squad ahead of the Unity Cup,” the club wrote on X.
Okonkwo had previously represented England at youth level from the Under-15 to Under-18 stages, but remained eligible for Nigeria through his parents.
Nigeria begin their Unity Cup campaign against Zimbabwe at The Valley on May 26, before the final and third-place match on May 30. Jamaica and India will contest the other semi-final.
After the London tournament, the Super Eagles travel to Warsaw for a friendly against Poland on June 3 and end their camp with a fixture against Portugal in Leiria on June 10.
