Stefano Okaka Transfer From Roma To Fulham Is Back On - Report
The Italian hitman is back on Fulham's radar...


Roma striker Stefano Okaka is set to complete a loan transfer to Fulham as the move, which was broken off last week, has been re-sparked into life.

According to Il Corriere Dello Sport, Okaka's agent Domenico Scoppeliti has flown to west London again to refine details and bring an end to negotiations over his client's move there.

Last week Corriere claimed Fulham had pulled out of the deal as they were not prepared to pay Roma €250,000 for the loan agreement until the end of term.

However, Wednesday's report claims new discussions between the two parties have been approved, and Okaka may well join the Premier League side by the end of the week.

Meanwhile, Roma striker Mauro Esposito is expected to join Serie B side Grosseto on a one-year deal. Sky Sport Italia are reporting that he left Trigoria this morning and waved goodbye to the squad after his contract in the capital expired.

I'm not sure Okaka is the sort of player we are in need of right now. I think we need experience rather than youth at this stage of the season. Just out of interest, does anyone know how long AJ is going to be out for? Despite everyone slagging him off I think he is still a class striker and when he hits form, like he did at the start of the season, he will bag a few goals. Anyone know when he will return?

Hopefully never. Sell him to Hull.

Get this guy or Victor Moses - would really like to see some youth/potential at the forward position.

12 mill for Smalling?  What if we developed either one of those players, how much would they go for in a year or two?
