Watford FC confirms the permanent departure of goalkeeper Maduka Okoye to Italian Serie A side Udinese.
The 23-year-old initially signed for the Hornets in January 2022 before joining up with the squad ahead of the 2022/23 season.
A senior Nigeria international, Okoye featured twice for Watford last season, starting a match apiece in the Carabao Cup and Emirates FA Cup.
Having spent time in the youth ranks at Borussia Mönchengladbach, Bayer Leverkusen and Fortuna Düsseldorf, Germany-born Okoye moved to Sparta Rotterdam in the summer of 2020.
He spent two seasons with the Dutch Eredivisie outfit, returning on loan for the second half of the 2021/22 campaign after agreeing permanent terms with Watford.
Best wishes for the future, Maduka!
