‘My idol is Dida’ – Super Eagles’ Maduka Okoye names top three goalkeepers

uper Eagles goalkeeper, Maduka Okoye, has named former AC Milan shot stopper, Dida, as his idol.

Okoye also named Barcelona’s Marc-André ter Stegen, Real Madrid’s Thibaut Courtois, and Manchester City’s Gianluigi Donnarumma as his top three best goalkeepers at the moment.

“My Idol is Dida. I have never met him in person, but I have heard him on calls,” Okoye said, as quoted by Tuttomercatoweb.

“I’d take many things from him; he was incredibly quick. He had personality on the pitch.

“De Gea is another legend, a monster. My top three goalkeepers are Ter Stegen, Courtois, and Donnarumma: he’s the best right now.”

Okoye is currently with the Super Eagles as they prepare to face Iran in an international friendly in Turkey later today.
