International striker now expected to join League One club after Wrexham speculation
Wrexham have secured a first signing of the summer but Phil Parkinson will be keen to add more new faces to his squad in the coming weeks.
More than two months on from Wrexham securing promotion to League One, the first signing of the summer is now on board.
Fans had been hoping to see Arthur Okonkwo return to the club after a superb loan spell at the STōK Cae Ras last season.
Wrexham have now managed to pull off a major coup, signing Okonkwo on a permanent basis after leaving Arsenal.

The talented goalkeeper has committed his future to Wrexham and marks an enormous addition as Wrexham’s first signing of the window.
Phil Parkinson certainly needs more signings but one rumoured target may end up signing for another League One club.
Exeter City want Wrexham target Josh Magennis
One of the first names linked with a move Wrexham this summer was Josh Magennis.
Speculation in May suggested that Wrexham had made moves for three players released by Wigan Athletic this summer.
Magennis was one of them, alongside left back Tom Pearce and fellow forward Stephen Humphrys.
Parkinson worked with Magennis at Bolton Wanderers and was seemingly keen on a reunion despite a mixed history together.
