Confirmed : Arsenal announce Super Eagles-eligible player has been loaned out to Sturm Graz

With a statement on their official website, Arsenal, on Monday morning, announced that Super Eagles-eligible player Arthur Okonkwo will continue his development at three-time Austrian Bundesliga champions Sturm Graz. 

Sturm Graz have loaned in the Hale End Academy graduate for the remainder of the 2022-2023 season. 

Okonkwo spent the first half of the campaign at Crewe Alexandra and was recalled from his loan spell at the League Two club, paving the way for him to complete his move to Sturm Graz following a successful medial. 

The 21-year-old registered ten clean sheets in twenty six all-competition appearances during his time at the Railwaymen. 

In his first words as a player of Sturm Graz, Okonkwo told the club's official website : "I'm happy to have landed here in Graz at SK Sturm, a big club in Austria.

"I know that you have big ambitions and goals here - just like me personally, so I am convinced that I am in the right place for the next step in my development.

"I look forward to getting to know the team and doing my part next spring to ensure maximum success."

Okonkwo is expected to travel with his new teammates to a training camp in Turkey this week.
