The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has expressed delight following the successful capture of Wrexham goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

FIFA approved Okonkwo’s switch of international allegiance to Nigeria last December, making him eligible to represent the Super Eagles at senior level.

Reacting to the development, NFF Director of Communications, Dr. Ademola Olajire, said the federation is pleased to welcome another quality player into the national team setup, particularly in the goalkeeping department.

“The NFF is always excited to have another good player committing to Nigeria and providing an option in a particular position,” Olajire told ESPN.

He added that the technical crew is happy with the addition of the Wrexham shot-stopper, describing Okonkwo as a promising prospect who will strengthen competition among the Super Eagles’ goalkeepers.

“Arthur Okonkwo is a prospect and we believe the technical crew is delighted to have another option in the goalkeeping department,” Olajire said.

Okonkwo’s inclusion further boosts Nigeria’s depth ahead of upcoming international engagements, as the Super Eagles continue to expand their pool of eligible players.
