“It’s a big achievement I must say because to be in a big league is not easy for any goalkeeper. And for him to be transferred to Watford I say congratulations to him and to Nigeria entirely.” He told Brila FM.
Okoye penned a five-year deal with the Hornets, but will remain with Sparta Rotterdam for the rest of 2021-2022 campaign.
