His death reportedly occurred ‘under suspicious circumstances’, but the cause remains unknown.

Belgian outlet nieuwsblad add that Udoh was found dead in Abuja, the capital of his home country, Nigeria.

The 21-year-old joined Southampton in February 2025, but he left the club just seven months into his three-and-half-year contract.

Udoh went straight into Southampton’s academy and didn’t make an appearance at senior level for the Saints. The Nigerian departed St Mary’s in September of last year via mutual consent in search of regular football, joining Czech second division club Dynamo Ceske Budejovice on a three-year deal.

It was with Belgian giants Royal Antwerp that Udoh began his journey in European football. Antwerp signed him aged 18 from Abuja-based club Hypebuzz.
