“Honestly, the first player I think about is Dybala because I remember when he came in, he didn’t start the game,” Okoye said. “He came in and it was incredible how he changed the game. It was so massive that anytime someone asks me this question, he’s the first name I mention.”
While acknowledging Dybala’s game-changing ability, Okoye also gave credit to other top strikers in the league, including fellow Nigerian and Napoli star Victor Osimhen.
“My brother Osimhen is not easy to face,” he admitted. “But there are a lot of quality players in the Serie A.”
Okoye has featured prominently for Udinese this season, earning praise for his performances and steady improvement in goal.
