Sparta Rotterdam glovesman Maduka Okoye will hold talks with manager Gernot Rohr during this month's over ajax and top english clubs after him
Sparta Rotterdam glovesman Maduka Okoye will hold talks with manager Gernot Rohr during this month's international break about a potential move to Eredivisie powerhouse Ajax Amsterdam in the summer transfer window.
Ajax are in the market for a goalkeeper as they will be without first-choice keeper André Onana until February 2022, the Cameroonian was handed a 12-month ban from football by UEFA after breaching doping violations.
The 1995 European champions are believed to have enquired about the availability of Okoye but an offer has not been made yet.
"I will be with the Nigerian national team and have a conversation with him (Rohr)," Okoye told Transfermarkt Netherlands.
"I have a close relationship with him. He gave me a big chance against Brazil when I was still the goalkeeper for Fortuna's second team. I am very thankful towards him, and his opinion matters."
Apart from Ajax Amsterdam, it is claimed that English, Italian and Belgium clubs are keeping tabs on Okoye with a view to a swoop when the window reopens.
The former Fortuna Düsseldorf starlet wants to join a club where he has been promised playing time.
"The press found out about Ajax and is now a public topic but there are also big clubs from England interested and one great club from Italy as well as Belgium, both have talked to my agency already.
"But until the summer I will focus on playing, there is work to be done and goals to be achieved," Okoye said.
It is claimed that Okoye had offers from Besiktas, Atalanta, and Sporting Lisbon before he joined Sparta Rotterdam last summer.
