But what about his playing style? Okoli identified two key strengths that will benefit the Foxes:
Strength and Defence: “I think I’m quite a good and strong defender,” Okoli declared.
Pace: Adding another dimension, Okoli highlighted his speed, stating, “I’m fast, so hopefully I can bring more of that quality to this team.”
Okoli acknowledged the step up in competition but expressed confidence that the team and coaching staff will help him adapt.
He emphasised the importance of pre-season training in building relationships and forging a strong defensive unit.
Leicester City fans can look forward to a defender who is not only physically imposing but also possesses the speed to thrive in the Premier League.
