Watford striker Stefano Okaka seeks Torino move: Call me Mazzarri

Watford striker Stefano Okaka wants to return to Italy.

Okaka is seeking a reunion with former Watford boss Walter Mazzarri, who has just taken charge of Torino.

He told Gazzetta dello Sport: "I just want to play. I'm 28 years old, I'm in the prime of my career, I can't spend anymore time in this limbo and I'm not happy at the moment. I have had no explanation for my constant exclusion.

"I only ask to be able to do my job and get back to normal. I talked to [Watford owner] Gino Pozzo and I hope everything can be resolved in a harmonious way.

"Torino are a great team, with a legendary history, which makes this club special. I have always got on well with Mazzarri because he's fair. He tells you things to your face and I appreciate people like him. Even in England, he proved his is good."
