Super Eagles and Udinese goalkeeper Maduka Okoye recently made headlines after being featured in a Simpsons-inspired cartoon by artist Stefano Mondo, also known as Steart. The artwork, shared on Okoye’s social media, drew admiration from the player, who praised the artist for his creativity.

Okoye is recovering from a difficult international break with Nigeria’s national team, where the squad faced a harrowing 15-hour detention in Libya. Following the cancellation of their AFCON qualifier, Okoye returned to Udinese, where his physical and mental condition is being monitored ahead of an important Serie A match against AC Milan.
