Former Super Eagles goalkeeper trainer Alloy Agu has confirmed that Nigeria's Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye is the best African goalkeeper in Europe, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Agu made the statement while speaking to Tutto Udinese and he also explained the reason he believes that Okoye is 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.”
