Hodgson unsure about Okaka arrival

(GSM) – Fulham boss Roy Hodgson insists he is still unsure whether Roma striker Stefano Okaka will join his team on loan this month. The Cottagers have been tipped to sign the 20-year-old, but Hodgson says Okaka’s arrival is still uncertain.

Hodgson has confirmed the West Londoners are continuing to monitor Okaka’s situation, but the Fulham boss stated that he cannot yet confirm a deal will happen.

“If it was to happen it would be a loan, but as I say we’re looking into the situation,” Hodgson told Sky Sports News.

“At the moment I can’t give you a definite answer on whether we will be loaning him or whether we will not be.

“There’re lots of things to consider. One of the things to consider is that we’ve got front players at the club who are doing well and working hard.

“If I was going to take a loan player then it would be someone who’s really desperate to come here and really anxious to use Fulham and show us what a great player he is and how keen he is to play and they are the things we need to look into.”
