Sources have indicated that Okon has landed on the radar of Dutch club PEC Zwolle FC, soon after Danish interest, with Midtjyiland FC also keen on the youngster.
According to insiders, Okon looks set for an assessment in Holland at the end of the season.
"The player is attracting more interest from Europe. In January he was in Denmark for trials and assessment and this time around there is a Dutch club interested in him. He can't go now and that's why there are plans that he should go for assessment after the season has ended. I don't think there is much that could be done now and that's why they would wait for the end of the season," a source revealed to the Siya crew.

"For now, there are a few more clubs that have been monitoring his progress and have inquired about him, but I don't think the team would want to put that pressure on him. I think they are looking at these two PEC Zwolle from Holland and Midtjylland FC from Denmark for now. Let's wait and see what will happen after the season ends first," the source said.
The 20-year-old has so far played 18 DStv Premiership league games this season and his showing has been impressive even to the opposition clubs.
Soccer Laduma contacted SuperSport United CEO Stan Matthews for comment, who, despite not revealing the name of the club, confirmed the interest.
"Yes there is interest in the youngster. We have interest from Portugal, Holland and Sweden," Matthews confirmed.
