Stefano Okaka has confirmed he is set to leave Roma to join Fulham on loan until the end of the season.

As revealed by skysports.com Fulham rekindled their interest in Okaka earlier this week after the move initially stalled.

Fulham have agreed a deal to sign Okaka as they look to fill the void left by Clint Dempsey's knee injury.

Okaka signed off at Roma in style with a stunning winning goal against Siena on Sunday and he revealed he will be flying to London later on Sunday to finalise his move to Craven Cottage.

"It's a big satisfaction [the goal]. I wanted to do a good performance even if I'm set to leave," Okaka told Sky Italia.

"Now I prepare my bags and I leave.

"It's normal I'll be homseick for these supporters, but I'm going to Fulham to do good things and we will see what will happen.

"I have already met (Roy) Hodgson.

"He is a great person and I am going there to learn from him."
