Okoye has been restricted to 22 league games since his arrival at Merkur Spiel-Arena and this season he has only made 14 appearances.
The 20-year-old has expressed his displeasure at his insufficient game time and hopes to secure a temporary move away from the Flingeraner to gain more experience.
“Fortuna (Dusseldorf) is my number one spot but I want to play. I have to get experience in the first team,” Okoye told Super Eagles media team in an Instagram chat.
“I have discussed with Fortuna maybe I will go to the Dutch league on loan to play so that I can get premier league experience in the Netherlands.
Okoye, who has one cap for the Super Eagles is delighted with his progress having started as a forward before switching to a goalkeeping role.
“I started football at a young age but then I was a forward. It shocks me that I now excel and I am making gradual progress in the goalkeeping role,” he continued.
“It is an interesting role and I have learnt a lot to even have a chance with the Super Eagles.”
