According to mondoudinese, Torino is interested in signing Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye who has been linked previously with Serie A champions Inter Milan.

The Turin-based side are preparing for the possible departure of Vanja Milinković-Savić who was once on the books of Manchester United and has identified Okoye as a possible replacement.

The 24-year-old returned to his brilliant best last season with Udinese, helping the Bianconeri maintain their Serie A status with a series of brilliant performances in goal. He initially struggled to get into the side, having been an unused substitute in the first 16 games of the campaign and was handed his debut against Bologna, keeping a clean sheet in the encounter.

The former Watford shot-stopper would go on to feature in 21 games in the Italian top flight, conceding 25 goals and keeping five clean sheets.
