Besiktas consider move for Udinese goalkeeper Maduka Okoye

Besiktas have revived their interest in Nigeria goalkeeper Maduka Okoye as the Turkish Super Lig club assess how to strengthen their goalkeeping options, according to BSNSports.com.ng.

Okoye, who plays for Italian Serie A side Udinese, has faced criticism after a difficult campaign and some underwhelming recent performances.

The 25-year-old has conceded 25 goals in 10 league appearances this season, prompting concerns about his form.

Despite those difficulties, Besiktas are still considering a move for the former Watford goalkeeper. The club want to improve competition for their current first-choice goalkeeper, Alexander Nubel, and see Okoye as a potential addition to their squad.

Besiktas’s renewed interest could give Okoye the chance to continue his career in Turkey, although the club would first need to formalise its interest in the Nigerian international.
