Walter Mazzarri has moved quickly to change the look of the squad that avoided relegation last season.

The signing of Okaka means the club have now splashed out around £60m on transfers this summer.

They paid a record £13m to Juventus for Roberto Pereyra two weeks ago before receiving £12.5m from Derby County for Matej Vydra last week.

Okaka scored 17 goals for Anderlecht last season.
