Dutch giants Ajax Amsterdam interested in Sparta Rotterdam's Nigeria international GK

Published: March 13, 2021

Dutch Eredivisie giants Ajax Amsterdam have been linked with a move for Nigeria international Maduka Okoye in the summer transfer window, according to reports.

Okoye has seen his stock rise in 2020-2021, somehow forcing his way into the Super Eagles and Sparta Rotterdam's starting lineups.

In nineteen league appearances, the 21-year-old has kept six clean sheets but none against the top six teams in the Eredivisie, while conceding 28 goals.

The Super Eagle earned rave reviews for his fine display in the 1-0 away win at VVV Venlo on Tuesday after making an unbelievable last minute save to prevent the opponents from equalising.

RTV Rijnmond reporter Dennis van Eersel said : "I know that the first Dutch top club has already signed up to take him over.

"If his contract continues for that long, Sparta can collect a nice amount for it. It is not the Dutch top club around the corner."

It has been reported that Ajax Amsterdam have not yet made a concrete offer for Okoye.
