Okaka loving life at Watford insists agent

Despite limited chances to shine Stefano Okaka is loving life at Watford, according to the striker’s agent.

Former Roma striker Okaka signed for the Hornets on a five-year deal from Anderlecht in the summer but has found it difficult to force his way into Walter Mazzarri’s starting XI.

And that is despite striker Odion Ighalo having headed to China in January to join Changchun Yatai for £20m.

But the forward’s agent Charles Okaka can see green shoots, especially since he scored two goals and set up skipper Troy Deeney last Saturday against Everton.

“Positive, for the little amount of time he’s taken to the pitch,” Charles Okaka said.

“He scored two goals at Everton, including an assist for Deeney on Saturday.

“He has a wonderful relationship with Mazzarri. We trust him a lot. He has great respect for the man and the coach’s work.”
