‘He helped us a lot’ - Udinese star claims Maduka Okoye is one of the best goalkeeper in the world

Okoye's recent form has been impressive, including a standout performance in a 1-0 victory over AS Roma, where he made several key saves to earn a clean sheet. 

His commanding displays have solidified his position at Udinese and strengthened his case for a continued role with the Nigerian national team.

Across a total of 64 competitive matches for the Italian club, the goalkeeper has accumulated 15 clean sheets across these appearances. 

Davis, who now plays alongside Okoye at Serie A club Udinese, highlighted the goalkeeper's crucial role in the team's recent successes. 

"Maduka is a very good goalkeeper. He was at Watford when I was there as well, so when I came here, obviously, I knew him," Davis told Ratings.

Okoye has established himself as Udinese's first-choice keeper, making a significant impact since breaking into the starting lineup. "He didn’t begin the start of the season with us, but he’s been playing since," Davis noted.

The English striker pointed to a specific match against Frosinone as a prime example of Okoye's value to the team. 

Davis, who scored in that game, emphasized that the goalkeeper's performance was instrumental in securing the result.

"The game against Frosinone, where I scored, some people don’t remember but he was very good in this game… he helped us a lot," Davis recalled. "They had a lot of opportunities to score, and he saved us a lot."

Davis concluded with high praise, stating, "He’s obviously a top goalkeeper, definitely one of the best that I’ve played with."
