The two teenagers are both classed as U21 players and have been listed on the Players List B.
While Okonkwo has been handed the number 86 jersey for the Europa League, Saka will wear the number 87 kit if he gets to feature in the group stage.
The other Nigerian teenagers earlier named in the Arsenal squad are defenders Tolaji Bola, Joseph Olowu and Tobi Omole.
