Wrexham A.F.C. goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo is being eyed by Leicester City as a potential transfer target. The Foxes are looking to strengthen their squad for a promotion push from League One.
What's behind the move?
Leicester City's new manager Russell Martin is looking to build a squad capable of winning promotion back to the Championship. Okonkwo's impressive form for Wrexham A.F.C. last season, where he kept nine clean sheets in 39 Championship appearances, has caught Martin's attention.
Why it matters for Wrexham A.F.C.
If Okonkwo were to leave, Wrexham A.F.C. would need to find a suitable replacement. The Red Dragons are already lining up a potential replacement in Sunderland's Anthony Patterson, who could join on a loan or permanent deal.
What comes next?
Leicester City will need to decide whether to buy Okonkwo outright or take him on a loan spell. The Foxes are open to both options as they look to bolster their squad for the upcoming season. | Player | Current Club | Potential Fee | | --- | --- | --- | | Arthur Okonkwo | Wrexham A.F.C. | Undisclosed | | Anthony Patterson | Sunderland | £8-10 million
