Transfer: Okoye to join Serie A club, Udinese on loan

Nigeria goalkeeper, Maduka Okoye is set to join Serie A club, Udinese, on a season-long loan deal.

Okoye is seeking a move elsewhere after failing to break into the first team at Sky Bet Championship club, Watford last season.

The 23-year-old, who joined Watford from Eredivisie outfit, Sparta Rotterdam last summer made only two appearances for the Hornets.

The shot stopper is now expected to spend the 2023/24 campaign at Udinese, according to reports.

His arrival will increase the number of Nigerians at the club to three with Isaac Success and Kingsley Ehizibue already key members of the squad.

Watford and Udinese are owned by the same family.
