Okoye is under watch for betting on his own yellow card in a match against Lazio on March 11, 2024.

The 25-year-old is being investigated by the Udine Prosecutor’s Office for a flow of anomalous bets during the Lazio-Udinese match, according to Gazetta dello Sport.

The Nigeria international received a yellow card for time-wasting after 64 minutes.

Okoye went under the knife last November for a wrist injury and is yet to return to action.

Udinese recently signed Egil Selvik as a precautionary measure.
