English Championship side, Charlton Athletic, have confirmed that goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo has been invited to the Super Eagles squad for Nigeria’s upcoming 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
The Championship club revealed the 24-year-old’s invitation in a post on Monday.
Okonkwo will link up with the squad ahead of Nigeria’s opening Group L fixtures later this month, giving the recently invited goalkeeper another opportunity to stake his claim for a regular place in the national team.
“Arthur Okonkwo has been called up to the Nigeria squad for their upcoming AFCON qualifiers against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau,” Charlton stated in a post on X.
Okonkwo switched his international allegiance from England to Nigeria earlier this year after representing the Three Lions at youth level, and made his Super Eagles debut during the 2026 Unity Cup in London.
