'I will fight him to the end' - Sparta's Coremans warns Nigeria keeper Okoye

The 30-year-old is fit again and has promised to push the Super Eagles star for the starting role after returning to first team training

Sparta Rotterdam goalkeeper Tim Coremans has vowed to reclaim his position as the number one for the Eredivisie side from Nigerian Maduka Okoye.

When Sparta were promoted to the Eredivisie more than two years ago, Coremans was one of the stars but everything changed after he picked up a serious injury and his place was taken by the Super Eagles custodian, who played most matches last season.

Despite the fact that he suffered a serious knee injury a year ago, his contract at Het Kasteel was extended until mid-2022.
