Looks like the Stefano Okaka rumours might have legs. Roy didn’t seem too pleased that Fulham’s interest had leaked out in the Sky Sports News footage I caught last night, though.
Okaka is a possibility for us. We’re looking into it and have shown an interest. How far we go down that road will depend on other things like whether he wants to come on loan to England. The finances of the situation will also be important.
Okaka has got quality and the fact it’s a loan is also advantageous because he’s a young player and largely untried. We’re happy with our striking options but we would like to have some cover and someone who can put pressure on the guys we have. Okaka seems to be that type of player but a lot of water must pass under the bridge before he pulls on a Fulham shirt.
I would be very happy if this happens. I have heard some excellent reviews on this guy.
Have to say I wasn’t all that impressed with him in the home game against Roma, but he looked very useful in the away fixture (particularly in the second half).
