Twenty-two-year-old Arthur Okonkwo has been on the books in North London since 2009, coming through the Hale End youth ranks to make the fringes of Mikel Arteta's first team.
The Englishman appeared for the seniors in a friendly defeat to Hibernian in the summer of 2021, while he has also made the bench for the Gunners in the Europa League and Premier League.

On the back of winning the Austrian Cup with Sturm Graz last season, Okonkwo has been Wrexham's first-choice goalkeeper during the 2023-24 season, playing a fundamental role in the Red Dragons' promotion to League One.
