Okonkwo between the sticks
For the subject of this week’s interview – U23 Goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo – I’m tapping into the considerable knowledge of John Williamson: few know more when it comes to Arsenal’s Youth.
The young shot-stopper came to most of our attention when Unai Emery included him in the travelling squad to Napoli in 2018/19. Arthur returned having suffered health issues in June and is now looking to make up for lost time. Could be great timing, with the imminent announcement of Emi Martinez departing for Villa Park.
As usual, John, I am coming at this with little knowledge but much interest, and I guess the first question must be this: we have so many young keepers in Hein, Hilson, Iliev… so is there is a reason you have picked Okonkwo over the others as our next potential future star?
JW: I have decided to go with Okonkwo ...
