According to Il Centro, Armstrong Okoflex is closing in on a move to Serie C side Pescara after he was released by West Ham.

Hammers boss David Moyes signed Okoflex from Celtic in the summer of 2021, and he arrived at the London Stadium with a big reputation as a supremely talented young player.
However, things didn’t quite work out for him with West Ham, and he was part of a big summer cull of under-21 players. However, it seems as though he has found a new club already…
Armstrong Okoflex set to join surprise new club after West Ham exit
Il Centro reckon that the Dublin-born winger is closing in on a move to Pescara – a team that currently play in Italy’s third tier.
It’s a real shame that we never saw Okoflex given a real chance at the London Stadium – I have no doubt in my mind that he possesses real talent.
However, Moyes obviously saw something that he didn’t like and allowed him to leave the club this summer.
Perhaps his work-rate wasn’t what it should be or maybe his attitude didn’t match his talent. Or it could be that Moyes quite simply just didn’t rate him as a footballer. Nobody actually knows.
The fact that he’s closing in on a move to a Serie C side tells a lot really doesn’t it.
I wish Armstrong Okoflex the best of luck in his new adventure out in Italy, and it will be interesting to see if he ever fulfils his potential.
