Watford outcast Stefano Okaka had a loan spell in the Premier League with Fulham in 2010, and could reportedly return to Craven Cottage.
With all the focus on Fulham’s defensive deficiencies, it seems that no one has stopped to consider that they’ve looked slightly weak in attack over the last few weeks as well.
The Cottagers have scored just 11 times in 12 Premier League matches this season, an average of less than one goal a game, and their lack of striking options beyond Aleksandar Mitrovic looks particularly worrying.
And report in Italy are claiming that new manager Claudio Ranieri is eyeing up a January deal for a player familiar both to him and Fulham supporters.
Tuttomercatoweb is reporting that Ranieri wants to reunite with his one-time Roma youngster Stefano Okaka in the New Year. The powerhouse striker is currently at Watford, but well out of favour at Vicarage Road – playing just 13 minutes of Premier League football all season.
As a result, TMW reports that he is keen to leave The Hornets with a permanent deal, or even a short-term loan, on the cards.
Okaka knows Fulham, having played 11 games for The Cottagers during a temporary spell in the second half of the 2009/10 season, scoring twice.
