Hi all
Having watched Okore playing brilliantly this weekend I have found much enjoyment reading the posts on this forum and especially how much you like him
I’ve always seen a high star in him so it’s no surprise to me that he is performing so well. Though maybe I didn’t expect him to play this good to be honest.
Since I’m from Denmark I imagine we get different access to different information than you do so I’ll direct your attention to this article from a Danish source from today, which had some interesting information in it regarding the time where he was not playing prior to his debut this season.

“But when Jores Okore was declared fit without being near the playing time, took steps to find playing time for him elsewhere in the upcoming transfer window.
"We have had a very professional and open dialogue with Aston Villa, and there was a time when both sides agreed that a lease would be a good opportunity to get some playing time in the legs. There were clubs in the summer, who asked for the opportunity to buy him, but Aston Villa was not interested in a sale. Lambert has always said that he believes in him, even if it would require a rental, but that he would not use him until Jores was 110 percent ready. They would not force him, "said Nikola Juric.
"On a rental basis was here and now interest from elsewhere in Europe and the Premier League, but now is a lease completely out of date. It goes without saying. The process is very similar Jores' time in the FCN where we really had been told they would not extend to him. So he got the chance in a game against Horsens, grabbed it, and the rest is a success story, "said the agent.”
