Okoye named Udinese February Player of the Month

Maduka Okoye has won the Udinese February Player of the Month award, DAILY POST reports.

It’s the first time the Nigeria international has won the award.

Okoye was presented with the award before Udinese’s Serie A clash against Torino on Saturday.

The 23-year-old was recognised for his sterling displays for the Zebras during the month.

The shot stopper’s effort helped Udinese secure one win, two draws and one defeat in four league outings in February.

Okoye was particularly outstanding in his club’s 1-0 away win against former champions Juventus.

He joined Udinese from Sky Bet Championship club Watford last summer.
