According to Sports Illustrated, Arthur Okonkwo is attracting interest from several Championship clubs, with Charlton Athletic among those monitoring his situation. Okonkwo is expected to leave Wrexham permanently during the final two weeks of the summer transfer window. He has entered the final year of his contract at Wrexham and his rank among the goalkeepers has lowered following the arrival of Sunderland goalkeeper Anthony Patterson for an initial club-record transfer fee. Okonkwo is now viewed as Wrexham's third-choice goalkeeper behind Patterson and Danny Ward. The Red Dragons accept that it is more sensible to sell him while he retains some transfer value rather than risk his departure for no fee next summer.
