Sampdoria striker Stefano Okaka is due to decide whether he wishes to join
Anderlecht, possibly as soon as tomorrow.
The Belgian giants have reached an agreement with Sampdoria to snap up the
striker as they hunt for a replacement for Aleksandar Mitrovic, who they have sold
to Newcastle United.
Okaka has been linked with a whole host of English clubs, a group which includes
Leeds United, Stoke City and Southampton. But it is Anderlecht who are on the
verge of winning the race for his signature.
Indeed, according to Sky Italia , tomorrow is the decisive day in Anderlecht's
pursuit of Okaka as they must convince the player of the merits of a move to
Belgium.
The club have already thrashed out a deal with Sampdoria, but now need Okaka
to say yes before the transfer can proceed.
The situation regarding the former Parma player is likely to be being watched
close by a number of clubs in the event he snubs the chance to move to Belgium.
Okaka is a senior Italy international, but has struggled to score regularly since he
joined Sampdoria from Parma last summer.
