Former Super Eagles goalkeeper Alloy Agu has rated Maduka Okoye as the best in Africa.
Despite losing his spot to Stanley Nwabali as the Super Eagles first choice, Okoye has remained the first choice with the Italian Serie A side Udinese.
While speaking to Tutto Udinese, Agu said a lot of factors contributed to Okoye being the African best.
“It is difficult to take a starting spot at top European clubs, but Okoye has made it easy. However, Maduka cannot afford to relax; he must continue to work hard,” Agu was quoted as saying by Tutto Udinese.
“I have always known about his talent since his time at Dusseldorf. I saw his potential and brought him to the national team, despite not everyone believing in him. It is not a stroke of luck that he has risen through the ranks.
“I think he is one of the best African goalkeepers, not only because of his talent but also because of a combination of factors such as age and height.”
