Watford protector, Williams Troost-Ekong, has actually described Nigerian goalkeeper, Maduka Okoye, as a really consistent gamer in the Super Eagles team.

Troost-Ekong said this ahead of Nigeria’s 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, tie with Sudan on Saturday.

According to him, Okoye, who is presently on loan at Sparta Rotterdam from Watford, is revealing top qualities that have raised him to be the Super Eagles’ number one goalkeeper.

Okoye made his global launching for Nigeria in October 2019.

The 22-year-old came on for the injured Francis Uzoho throughout a friendly versus Brazil in Singapore.

“We had a couple of gamers making their launchings at AFCON, consisting of Maduka, who is a Watford gamer now,” Ekong informed Watford’s official site.

“I think he’s been very consistent because he was available in, which can be quite unusual for a young goalkeeper. I remember his first video game where he made his debut against Brazil in Singapore, in a friendly game two years earlier, and ever since, he has been really constant.

“He is constantly coming for the ball, talks a lot throughout the game and is trusted, which is the main thing you desire from someone behind you. He is a relaxing existence to our group and I’m actually comfortable playing with him. I believe he’s delighting in the chance to step up and secure his place as the No. 1 for Nigeria.”
