Norwich City join race for Okaka

Norwich City have joined Championship rivals Aston Villa in the pursuit for the former Fulham striker Stefano Okaka.

The 27-year-old currently plays his football in Belgium with Anderlecht and the Mail Online report that the Canaries alongside Villa have expressed an interest in the Italian international.

Okaka is a bit of a journeyman with ten clubs to his name at the age of 27. He joined Anderlecht last summer from Italian side Sampdoria and bagged 15 goals in 37 appearances last season.

He started his career with A.S Roma in 2005 where he remained until 2012. After leaving Roma he moved on to Parma but he failed to make any sort of impact with only 27 minutes on the pitch in his two-year spell.

After leaving Parma he spent two years at Sampdoria where he scored nine goals in total over his 45 appearances for the Genoa based side.

The striker’s only year in England came in the 2009/10 season with Fulham where he scored twice in 11 games.
