In an interview with SportyTV on YouTube, Okoye said, "I faced also my brother Osimhen, it's also something not easy to face. A lot of quality players in the Serie A.
"Osimhen scored one goal against me, we played 1-1 at home against Napoli. It's in his DNA to score and for him it's not possible to not score.

“He's too much of a quality striker but people could see that he didn't celebrate the goal. It meant a lot to me, he has to do his job. This man is too dangerous not to score.”
Osimhen scored a vital equaliser on Thursday night at Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium in Abidjan to keep the Super Eagles from losing to Benin's Cheetahs.
Currently, Chippa United captain Stanley Nwabali is ahead of Okoye in the Super Eagles' goalkeeping ranking, making him the team's number-one goalkeeper.
