Inter target Super Eagles goalkeeper
Okoye's heroics have not gone unnoticed, with reports emerging that he could now be rewarded with a move to the San Siro.
“Inter are reportedly in the market for a second-choice goalkeeper to complement first-choice Yann Sommer, who put in excellent performances as the Nerazzurri clinched their 20th Scudetto,” according to reports from Sky Sport Italia's Gianluca Di Marzio.
Okoye is among the names being considered by Inter, alongside Athletico Paranaense's Brazilian goalkeeper Bento and Genoa's Spaniard Martinez.
Okoye's impressive season, in which he played a pivotal role in keeping Udinese in Italy's top flight, could now see the Super Eagles number one secure a dream move to the reigning Italian champions.
The former Watford man kept five clean sheets in 21 matches after stealing the number spot from Italy’s Marco Silvestri.
Okoye is currently in Uyo as he prepares to help the Super Eagles revive their 2026 FIFA World Cup dreams against South Africa.
