24 years old, 6'6" Shot-stopper Arthur Okonkwo Was The Penalty Shoot-out Hero as Wrexham Bundles Premier League side Nottingham Forest out of The FA Cup
Fresh from switching allegiance to Nigeria and FIFA approving the switch late last year, Arthur Okonkwo has now taken things to another level by making a huge case for his place in Super Eagles. Last night, Okonkwo was the match hero after producing a World Class performance that have now gotten Nigerians talking about him.
His FA Cup masterclass on a rain-soaked Friday night in North Wales dumped Premier League side Nottingham Forest out of the FA Cup in a dramatic penalty shootout, following a vivacious 3-3 draw after extra time. This was Wrexham's first victory over Premier League opposition since 1999, when they beat Middlesbrough and Okonkwo mush have felt on top of the World pulling such a historic masterstroke.
Our goalkeeping depth is now insane with Maduka Okoye who has rediscovered his form and confidence, playing at the highest and most competitive level of all options.. Francis Uzoho who is ready to fight for a shirt, teenage sensation, Ebenezer Harcourt who represents the future and Stanley Nwabali who is currently our First Choice.
