Speaking exclusively to the Siya crew, Matthews explained that the club is not averse to a move for the 20-year-old.
"We have a few options for July, we will see, for now he's focused on finishing the season with us unless we get a really crazy offer from a place where the transfer window is open and so we plan to re-assess interest in July. We need him now we have to fight our way up the table. He can really help us this season so as I have said, we will look into the whole thing again in July," Matthews said to Soccer Laduma.

Meanwhile a source close to the club further stated that the club is being patient and waiting for the right offer.
"Yes, there have been several inquiries and interest from Europe as you know, he even went for trials at Dynamo Kyiv in Ukraine and Danish club Midtjylland FC are also interested in him and there are other clubs as well. So the club is looking at the right fit and that's why they are giving themselves enough time to decide," a source revealed to the Siya crew.
Okon has so far played in 11 Betway Premiership League games this season while his in his breakout season he played 23 league games, scoring on one occasion.
