Following the completion of her deal, PSG shared a video of Okocha welcoming her to the club.

Okocha is one of the biggest names that has ever come out of African football. He spent four years at PSG between 1998 and 2002, and he made 84 appearances for the club before joining Bolton Wanderers. The 50-year-old played for the Super Eagles for 13 years before retiring in 2006.
