Okonkwo Explains Arsenal departure

  Arsenal youngster Arthur Okonkwo has spoken about his decision to leave the club.

The 22-year-old has been attracting interest from several teams after a promising spell at Wrexham.

While the lower league club are hoping to secure him permanently, Okonkwo is not short on offers.

“It's been an incredible journey, from joining at the age of eight, I'm now 22 and I've been there for 15 years which has been brilliant because I've worked with amazing people, from the academy to the first-team," he said of Arsenal to The Mirror.

“It's a bittersweet moment because I have to start a new chapter as I've had so many great years at Arsenal but, in the last two years, I need to keep playing and carry on my journey.

“I'm still really ambitious to play at international level. I can still play for England or Nigeria and I've not made a choice yet."

 Arsenal will play against Everton in their final Premier League game and they have received a boost ahead of this game. Arsenal fans have received a much-needed confidence boost ahead of their crucial final Premier League clash against Everton on Sunday. The reason? History.

This statistic comes as a ray of hope for Arsenal, who currently sit in second place with 86 points, just two points behind reigning champions Manchester City. The Gunners secured a vital 1-0 victory against Manchester United at Old Trafford in their previous game, keeping their title hopes alive. However, with Manchester City also facing a seemingly less challenging opponent in West Ham for their final game, the pressure is on for Arsenal to deliver a convincing performance at the Emirates.

  Football analyst and former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher recently made headlines for his positive evaluation of Arsenal’s rising star, Bukayo Saka, during a press conference. Carragher, who is renowned for his frank and perceptive commentary, showed no restraint in his praise, speculating that Saka’s lack of playing for a prominent team like Manchester City is the reason fans undervalue his abilities. Carragher said, “Some people underrate him because he is not in the Manchester City team.” “But I have to admit, he passes the ball more skillfully than De Bruyne and Rodri. Fans will never fully understand him now, but there is no denying his talent. Football fans and commentators have been talking about Carragher’s statement a lot.

De Bruyne is especially well-known for his vision and inventiveness in the midfield, while Rodri is excellent at setting the pace of the game and a...
