After developing in Germany, he made his breakthrough at Sparta Rotterdam, where he was voted Player of the Season in 2020–21. A move to Watford followed, but it was at Udinese, joining in 2023, where he cemented his reputation in Serie A. Standing at 1.98 m, Okoye commands his area with authority while showcasing sharp reflexes and composure under pressure. Internationally, he has earned 16 caps for Nigeria and is pushing to establish himself as the first-choice keeper ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

With charisma, dual heritage, and top-tier potential, Okoye is steadily becoming a role model for young African keepers.
