In the post, the 25-year-old shotstopper expressed his admiration for the artist with a caption, “Hai fatto la magia fra,” meaning, “You worked the magic, bro.”
Meanwhile, Okoye is still recovering from a difficult time with the Nigeria national team.
The Super Eagles were detained in Libya for over 15 hours during a trip to an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier. The match was eventually canceled, and the team returned home deeply affected by the ordeal.
Udinese are closely monitoring Okoye’s well-being, both physically and mentally, as they prepare for their upcoming Serie A match against AC Milan.
Despite being the second-choice goalkeeper for Nigeria, Okoye has been a key player for Udinese, keeping two clean sheets in their first seven league games. The club is determined to ensure that Okoye is fully recovered and ready to take on the challenge at San Siro.
