Watford forward Stefano Okaka's proposed move to Fulham hangs in the balance with the Italian himself unsure of his own future.

For the second transfer window in a row, Okaka is subject of a late loan bid from a Championship side - with the Cottagers following Wolves' lead in August.

The striker himself turned down the Midlands club on that occasion, and he is still not entirely sold on spending the rest of the season in the Championship.

If a move doesn't materialise, he may find himself with some playing time at Watford - Okaka has featured in each of the past three games for the Hornets, and came on at half-time in Javi Gracia's first match at Southampton on Saturday.

The 28-year-old found himself out in the cold under Marco Silva earlier in the season, but always maintained there had been no falling out between the pair despite the head coach's claims.

But Silva was later forced to reintegrate his exiled forward with the squad when Troy Deeney spent seven games suspended over the winter months.
