Okpotu returned to his Moroccan employers at the end of a season, after which he signed permanently for Tunisian side US Monastir. The former Lobi man spent a year in Tunisia before joining Qatar SC in 2020.

 

Well, Okpotu is not done with his travels yet, as Egyptian club Al Masry have confirmed that he would in the books of the club for the next two years.

Okpotu becomes the fourth signing at the club after they secured the services of Marwan Hamdi, Abderrahim Deghmoum, and Imadeddine Boubekeur.

Okpotu has 12 caps for Nigeria, with three goals to his name. The last time he played for Nigeria was in 2018.
