Okoli is the kind of Championship defender who wins aerial battles before the striker has even jumped — a quietly dominant presence whose 62.5% aerial win rate places him in the top 20% of the division, a league where physical duels decide points every single week. His 1.53 interceptions per 90 tells the deeper story: this isn't a reactive defender, it's a reader of the game, someone who kills attacks through positioning rather than desperation. The counterintuitive detail is his pass accuracy of 86.3% — solid but not spectacular — which actually undersells how often he's distributing under pressure in a mid-block system.
