Lincoln City has managed to secure a season-long loan for distinguished striker Francis Okoronkwo from Premier League side Everton. At the young age of 20, Okoronkwo is keen to leave a mark at the LNER Stadium. He brings with him invaluable skills acquired during his loan term at Salford City in the last season, where he scored four goals across 24 games. Born in Blyth, Okoronkwo moved to Everton’s youth academy in 2021 after leaving Sunderland. His addition signals Lincoln’s third significant signing of this summer and he will be joining the team along with defenders Sonny Bradley and Ryley Towler, as the club sets its targets on enhancing its squad for the forthcoming season.
