Premier League club Bournemouth have reportedly identified Udinese goalkeeper Maduka Okoye as a potential transfer target for the summer.
With uncertainty surrounding the future of Spanish shot-stopper Kepa Arrizabalaga, whose season-long loan from Chelsea expires at the end of the campaign, Andoni Iraola’s side are exploring alternative options.
According to Sportitalia, Okoye, 25, has emerged as a prime candidate to bolster Bournemouth’s goalkeeping ranks.
The Nigerian international has previous experience in England, having played for Watford in the Sky Bet Championship. Since joining Udinese in 2023, Okoye has established himself as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper.
Although he lost his place in the Nigerian national team to Stanley Nwabali, Okoye has bounced back with some impressive performances this season.
His strong displays have caught the attention of Bournemouth, who could now make a move for him at the end of the season.
