On the field, Wrexham have enjoyed back-to-back promotions – rewriting the history books along the way – and have made no secret of the fact that they intend to reach the Premier League at some stage. For now, clambering out of League One is the main target for all concerned.
WHAT OKONKWO SAID
Okonkwo forms part of that project, with the highly-rated goalkeeper telling the Men In Blazers podcast of why he is sticking with a pre-season prediction of pushing for a place in the Championship: “I’m not more confident. I’m as confident as I was then, still think we will go for promotion. Like I’ve said before, there is no point us thinking about ‘let’s aim for 10th’. We are not going to do that. We are really positive and we are definitely going to try our best to reach as high as possible. If we don’t achieve that, I’m sure we will go through it again next season.”
