Fulham are on the brink of completing the loan signing of striker Stefano Okaka from Roma until the end of the season.
Okaka is undergoing a medical at Craven Cottage after negotiations over the 20-year-old were revived since a perceived lack of interest from the player and his club threatened to scupper the move.
Fulham boss Roy Hodgson expects the Italy Under-21 international to be available after the transfer window closes on Monday.
"The deal is on. It was never really off but there have been a lot of problems to iron out," said Hodgson.
"At the moment he's finishing off a medical. Barring any problems with the medical I expect him to join us from Monday.
"He won't be in line to play against Aston Villa (on Saturday) as Roma want him available for their game on Sunday."
