By Dayo Awoniyi

English Premier League side Bournemouth has made an official approach to Udinese for Nigerian international goalkeeper Maduka Okoye.

The 24-year-old has impressed with his performances this season, keeping three clean sheets in 19 appearances.

Okoye was previously on AC Milan’s radar during the last summer transfer window.

Bournemouth is keen on signing him as a potential replacement for Kepa Arrizabalaga, who is set to return to Chelsea.

With three years left on his contract, Udinese values Okoye at around €7 million.

The transfer could be a significant move for the Nigerian goalkeeper, potentially launching his Premier League career.
