Okoye, who plays for Udinese in Italy’s Serie A and the Super Eagles, has recently gained increased attention beyond football for his looks, fashion appearances and social media presence.
Born in Düsseldorf, Germany, to a Nigerian father and a mother of German and French heritage, the 26-year-old made his senior debut for Nigeria in 2019.
Standing at 1.98 metres (6ft 6in), the goalkeeper began his professional career in Germany before moving to Dutch side Sparta Rotterdam, where he was named the club’s Player of the Season for the 2020/21 campaign.
His performances earned him a move to Watford in 2022 before he joined Udinese the following year, where he has continued to establish himself in Italy’s top flight and as one of Nigeria’s leading goalkeepers.
