,,Watford with club boss Gino Pozzo has simply convinced me”, says the goalkeeper, who gives Sparta a transfer fee of allegedly 7 million euros. ,,They have me as number 1 for the Premier League and the Championship”
Whether Okoyo will play at the highest level in England next season is still the question. The club is 17th in the Premier League after 11 matches, just two points above the relegation zone. ,,I believe in the quality of the team, I pray and hope they stay in it”, says the Nigerian with German roots. ,,It has to work with this trainer (Claudio Ranieri, ed.).”
According to the goalkeeper, there was a lot of interest. His management also held talks with Southampton FC, Burnley FC and Crystal Palace and two clubs from France. But Okoye didn’t think it necessary to wait any longer. “More interest can also be harmful. Despite the stress of the past few days, I made a conscious decision to sign the contract now to clear my head for the qualifiers with the national team and to ensure my life with my current club.”
