Italian Seria A side Udinese have secured the services of Italian-born Nigerian attacker Stefano Chukwuka Okaka from English Premier league side Watford on loan for the rest of the season.

The former AS player will be presented to the media and the club fans on Wednesday 9 January (today) at the Club’s press room of the Dacia Arena.

”Okaka is physically strong, good at defending the ball and getting the team up. Stefano is strong in the aerial game inside the penalty area,” said Daniele Pradè, technical director of the Bianconeri Friuliani.

Okaka who struggled for form in the colour of Watford is not new Italian football, haven had spells at Roma, Modena, Brescia, Bari, Parma, Spezia, and Sampdoria.

The striker will be hoping to rediscover his scoring touch and help Udinese retain their league status in what is proving to be a difficult campaign already.
