The Nigerian Football Federation confirmed that the 24-year-old shot-stopper is now eligible to don the national team colors. Born in England to Nigerian parents, Okonkwo came through the Arsenal youth system and previously represented England at youth levels.
Standing at 1.98 meters, Okonkwo has been Wrexham's first-choice goalkeeper this season, featuring in 31 matches and keeping 7 clean sheets. He could become a contender for the starting position with the Super Eagles, especially as current Stanley Nwabili is without a club.
