Fulham pull plug on deal for Roma youngster Okaka

Fulham have pulled the plug on a loan deal for Roma attacker Stefano Okaka.

The Mirror says the two clubs had agreed a deal and the 20-year-old had indicated his willingness to move to Craven Cottage.

But medical tests are believed to have shown he is carrying an injury that would prevent him playing straight away.

So even though Fulham desperately need cover with Bobby Zamora nursing a broken collarbone, they have shelved the deal.
