Fulham's new loan signing Stefano Okaka signed off from Roma in style before departing for Craven Cottage on Sunday.
The Italian Under-20 international striker scored a stunning winning goal for the Serie A outfit against Siena before boarding a plane for London.
The talented striker then told Sky Italia he was excited about his new adventure in the Premier League.
He said: “It's a big satisfaction [the goal]. I wanted to do a good performance even if I'm set to leave.
“Now I prepare my bags and I leave. It's normal I'll be homesick for these supporters [the Roma fans], but I'm going to Fulham to do good things and we will see what will happen.”
Okaka will now link up with his new Fulham team-mates from Monday until the end of the season, and boss Roy Hodgson will be hoping his latest recruit can help fill the void left by Clint Dempsey's injury.
Fulham are 11th in the Premier League but sit just seven points above the drop zone following Saturday's 2-0 home defeat to Aston Villa.
