Super Eagles goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo has emerged as a transfer target for Leicester City, according to reports.
The 24-year-old has been one of the standout goalkeepers in the Sky Bet Championship after a string of impressive performances for Wrexham last season. His form has put him on the radar of several clubs ahead of the new campaign.
Okonkwo’s future at Wrexham remains uncertain with less than a year left on his contract. The Red Dragons have been linked with Sunderland goalkeeper Anthony Patterson, a move that could see Okonkwo drop to second choice if completed.

Leicester City are reportedly keen to sign the former Arsenal shot-stopper as they prepare for life in League One following relegation last season. However, the Foxes’ drop to the third tier could make the move less appealing to the Nigerian international.
Other Championship sides including Derby County, Bristol City, and Watford have also been linked with Okonkwo as speculation around his next step continues to grow.
