Linked with a move with Fulham, it appears that Watford’s want away striker, Stefano Okaka, is on his way to Turkey,
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the 28-year-old will be loaned to the Turkish side until the end of the season, as Fulham were not willing to meet the Hornets’ demands of €2m up front for the temporary deal.
The temptation to rejoin the club he played for back in 2010, when he was loaned to Craven Cottage from AS Roma, appeared to be there, but, ultimately, the prospect of fighting for a title, and the Championship side’s reluctance to pay the initial fee means he’ll be heading to Turkey instead.
Okaka is expected to fly to Istanbul later today in order to pass his medical and sign his contract with the Super Lig side.
Starting off the season with a bang at Vicarage Road by scoring a goal against Liverpool, the Italy international then all but disappeared from Marco Silva’s squads until very recently, where he came off the bench a handful of times, even starting one game against Swansea on December 30th.
