Keeps clean sheet against Monza Okoye made one save and kept a clean sheet during Saturday's scoreless draw against Monza.

Impact Okoye barely had to work here as his side dominated most of the contest despite not being able to break the deadlock. This was the second clean sheet over six league starts for the goalkeeper since he took over from Marco Silvestri in Udinese's starting XI and a much-needed bounce back after conceding multiple goals on each of the previous four starts.

Allows two goals in Atalanta match Okoye made nine saves and gave up two goals in Saturday's 0-2 defeat to Atalanta.

Impact Okoye did what he could to keep things close, but his defense came apart too easily in the first half. He has been solid after replacing Marco Silvestri on goal, but he's stuck behind a lousy line. The coach has yet to commit to him the rest of the way. He has kept one clean sheet, surrendered nine goals, and made 19 saves in five appearances. Udinese will face Monza at home Saturday.

Allows three goals against Milan Okoye had four saves and conceded three goals in Saturday's 2-3 defeat versus AC Milan.

Impact Okoye had his best performance since taking over the starting job from Marco Silvestri even though he surrendered three goals, as he couldn't do much on the final two. The coach seems to be proceeding on a game-to-game basis, but he might have earned a few more nods and hasn't had any major blunders, unlike his teammate. He has kept one clean sheet, made 10 saves, and given up seven goals in four games. Udinese will face Atalanta away on Saturday.

Concedes twice against Fiorentina Okoye made one save and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Fiorentina.

Impact Okoye made a save and a clearance but conceded a goal to Lucas Beltran in the 55th minute and a penalty to M'Bala Nzola in the 87th minute. It wasn't a standout performance from Okoye, and there's a higher likelihood of him losing his starting spot to Marco Silvestri again in the upcoming matches.

It was a great start to his career in the Serie A, as this was his first start since joining the club in August. It is unsure who will get the start in net for Udinese on Sunday against Lazio, with regular starter Marco Silvestri not having any injury concerns despite being dropped to the bench against Bologna.
