Brother admits Okaka wants Watford exit - but England stay

Watford striker Stefano Okaka wants to move within the Premier League in January.

Okaka's agent and brother, Carlo, has confirmed the striker wants to leave, but only to remain in England.

He told TMW: "Stefano wants to stay in the Premier, he did a year of Jupiler League with 17 goals to get back in. But it's also true that he's not playing, he only came on for 10 minutes against Everton because (Troy) Deeney was suspended for three days. He will leave to play, to show the player he is from now to the end of his career."

Of claims of a collapsed move to Udinese in August, Carlo insists he was unaware of the rumours.

"I can not know that, but he has always been very consistent, he said he did not want to play anywhere but in the Premier, there were other interests but his idea was always to stay."
