Fulham boss Roy Hodgson is going cold on the idea of signing Roma striker Stefano Okaka on-loan.

Hodgson insisted yesterday, ahead of their match against Blackburn tomorrow, that the deal was far from done.

"In terms of profile, Stefano fits the bill, but in terms of desire to come here, that's something we will have to look into," said Hodgson.

"I need to think whether I am doing something that is going to benefit the club or something that is just going to end up benefiting the player and the club he is with, for money."
