Super Eagles and Udinese goalkeeper Maduka Okoye is keeping fit during the off season.
The 25-year-old shot-stopper has been soaking up the sun on a well-deserved holiday in Dubai, and it looks like he’s been busy turning heads off the pitch as well.
Okoye recently took to his Snapchat to share a video of his muscular physique.
In the snap, Okoye gives fans a sneak peek of his jaw-dropping back tattoo—a bold, intricate design of the word “Oberbilk”, referring to an inner-city urban district in the south-east of Düsseldorf, Germany, where Okoye was born.
Okoye’s choice of the Oberbilk tattoo is deeply personal, linking him to his roots in the German city.
The goalkeeper, who has previously expressed pride in his mixed Nigerian-German heritage, uses his body as a canvas to tell his story.
Okoye was born to an Igbo Nigerian father and a German mother.
