Arthur Okonkwo has officially switched international allegiance to Nigeria national football team and is now eligible to represent the Super Eagles.
The 24-year-old goalkeeper received FIFA clearance in April after previously representing England at the youth level.
Okonkwo arrives after an impressive season with Wrexham AFC, making 38 appearances in the Championship while recording nine clean sheets and 111 saves.
His arrival gives new Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle another strong goalkeeping option as Nigeria continues rebuilding the squad ahead of future tournaments.
The goalkeeper could make his debut during the upcoming Unity Cup in London later this month, where Nigeria will begin their campaign against Zimbabwe.
