Arthur Okonkwo has expressed his eagerness to make his long-awaited debut for Nigeria’s Super Eagles following his recent switch of international allegiance.
The London-born goalkeeper, who previously represented England at youth levels, was officially cleared by FIFA last month to play for Nigeria, opening the door for his inclusion in the national team.
The 24-year-old is widely expected to be named in the Super Eagles squad for the upcoming Unity Cup tournament scheduled to take place later this month.

Okonkwo’s potential inclusion adds depth to Nigeria’s goalkeeping options as the team prepares for upcoming international competitions.
