Nigerian international Maduka Okoye has signed a four-year deal with his new club, Udinese Calcio.

On Thursday, the Serie A club announced his permanent transfer from English Championship side Watford FC for an unknown amount.

The 23-year-old goalkeeper signed for Watford from Eredivisie side Sparta Rotterdam after Ben Foster left the club but struggled to get minutes as he ended up appearing only two times in the FA Cup and League Cup throughout the last campaign.

Okoye started his career at Bayer Leverkusen before he joined Fortuna Düsseldorf, where he established himself as one of the top young goalkeepers in the world.
