Arsenal wonderkid named in Team of the Season after leading Wrexham to promotion

ARSENAL loanee Arthur Okonkwo has been named in the League Two Team of the Season.

The 22-year-old goalkeeper joined Wrexham on a season-long loan in September and has since played a crucial role in the club’s promotion push.

In 38 appearances across all competitions Okonkwo has kept 15 clean sheets and made several match-defining saves.

His impressive form has even caught the eye of the Nigeria national team.

NFF chiefs are now reportedly considering him for a senior international call-up.

Okonkwo was named in the League Two Team of the Season at the EFL Awards on Sunday.

His Wrexham team-mate Elliot Lee was also named in the XI.

The Red Dragons secured promotion to League One with a 6-0 win over Forest Green Rovers at the weekend.

Fans invaded the pitch at the STōK Cae Ras Stadium at full-time with Hollywood star and co-owner Ryan Reynolds watching on.

Reynolds later took to X to congratulate the team, writing: “A few years ago, if you told me I would be crying tears of joy over a football match taking place in North Wales, you would be Rob McElhenney.

“Congrats to Wrexham and to my co-chairman in crime. Double up the town! This is the ride of our lives.”

Wrexham fans were then treated to a night of singing, Jagerbombs, and celebration with the squad at a local restaurant and bar.
