Fulham are confident of a loan deal for Roma striker Stefano Okaka.

The Daily Mail says Fulham have agreed a six-month loan deal with Roma for striker Stefano Okaka.

The Italian club are happy for the temporary switch to go ahead for the 20-year-old following the arrival of Italy striker Luca Toni from Bayern Munich.

Fulham manager Roy Hodgson has long been an admirer of Okaka and confirmed the club's interest in Okaka at the end of last month.

The Cottagers need for a striker has increased following Bobby Zamora's collarbone injury which will keep out for 10 weeks.
