Coach of Dutch Eredivisie side Sparta Rotterdam Henk Fraser belives Nigeria international goalkepper Maduka Okoye has shown enough to be listed among the best young goalkeppers in Europe.
Okoye has been excellent since making his top flight debut for Sparta Rotterdam following his free transfer from German side Fortuna Dusseldorf, where he was a part of their youth team set up.
Last season he kept ten clean sheets to stamp his feet as one of the top prospects in the league and in the process became the first choice goalkepper of the senior national team of Nigeria. This season he has four clean sheets.
After watching him keep his second consecutive clean sheet this season following the 1-0 win over Go Ahead Eagles, Fraser says he has shown over time that he is in the bracket of the best young goalkeppers in Europe.
” He has it in him to be the best because his foundation is very grounded. Over time you see his mental strength and development increase and it is helping him. He has done well this season enough to say he is the debate of the best young goalkeppers in Europe at the moment”, he concluded
