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."

Can Liverpool win premier League without signings?

Liverpool remain the only Premier League club yet to make a transfer so far this summer after Martin Zubimendi turned down a move to Anfield to stay at Real Sociedad. It's anything but certain that Liverpool will now pursue other targets after being snubbed by the midfielder. Liverpool sought to sign Zubimendi after being told unequivocally that the player wanted to leave this summer and because they believed his profile would complement Arne Slot's existing squad.   The pursuit has been described as 'opportunistic' and therefore there is currently no widespread expectation that Liverpool will seek to re-enter the market for another midfielder.  How much have PL clubs spent so far this summer Chelsea have splashed a cool, table-topping £156.3m on signings this summer - and that excludes the fee for Estevao Willian, who will join the Blues next season.
