The signing of Stefano Okaka is a big boost for Fulham after losing Striker Bobby Zamora for up to eight weeks through injury. Zamora dislocated his shoulder in Fulham’s Premier League clash against Stoke and Okaka is expected to provide cover in his absence.

The Italy under-20 international Okaka rejected offers from Bari and Chievo to sign for Fulham and Roma’s sporting director Daniele Prade said, “He is 20 and the Premier League is the right tournament for him to prove his characteristics and potential.(Roy) Hodgson has already stated his full confidence in the player, the only thing missing is Stefano’s signature.”

Two of the Togo players were shot and hurt while the teams coach driver was killed. Hull City have players Daniel Cousin and Seyi Olofinjana out there and there are more than 30 other Premier League stars like Chelsea’s Didier Drogba and Man City’s Adebayor at the tournament.

Phil Brown told The Sun: “I have two players on duty and I want them home.”

“Darren Ferguson did a fantastic job at Peterborough so he’s obviously in the frame,” said Shaw a week ago.

“We would be foolish not to consider him but there are several quality candidates out there.”

Inter Milan were in talks with Tottenham Hotspur over a possible swap deal. Inter wanted Jermaine Jenas with Ricardo Quaresma going the other way. But Chelsea hijacked Quaresma’s move and Scolari signed him on loan till the end of the season. Sporting Lisbon rejected 3 bids on deadline day for Miguel Veloso – two from Bolton and one from Newcastle. Benfica defender Marco Zoro rejected the chance to join Bolton or Blackburn, signing of Vitoria Setubal instead.

Javier Saviola and Kevin Kuryani were heavily linked with moves to the Merseyside. Saviola was targeted by Liverpool as Keane’s replacement while Everton wanted Kuryani to solve their attacking problems. Both deals, though, fell through. Lyon’s Brazilian hit man Fred refused a deal to join Brazilian club Palmerias deciding to stay in France instead. Le Havre 20 year old midfielder Selim Bouadia joined PSG on loan. Meanwhile, AC Milan are seriously looking into the possibility to sign David Beckham on a permanent deal after his loan period expires. Beckham is also very eager to play in Europe as it would enhance his chances for an England call-up.

Camara joined the Latics from Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2005 for a fee of £3million. He did enjoy his first two years at the JJB, but has since then been reduced to nothing more than a fringe player. He spent last season on loan at West Ham, but made only 10 appearances in what he described as a “waste”.

Camara has plenty of experience with relegation threatened sides, which is being seen as a valuable asset by Stoke boss Tony Pulis.

Stoke were also in the race to sign Bayer Leverkusen’s Theofanis Gekas, but the Greek striker chose to move to Pompey instead.

Camara’s contract at Wigan expires this summer.

Andy Carroll scored his first Newcastle goal as the Magpies drew 2-2 at home against Gianfranco Zola’s West Ham. Newcastle took the lead through Michael Owen, but fell behind at St.James Park after Craig Bellamy and Carlton Cole struck for the Hammers in a thirty minute period.

The draw for the fourth round has also been made. Liverpool and Everton are paired together for what promises to be another exciting Merseyside derby, while United will welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Old Trafford. Nottingham Forest, who eliminated Manchester City in the previous round, will play Derby County. Hartlepool’s reward for a shock win over Stoke is a game against Gianfranco Zola’s West Ham.
