Okkels previously played under Thelin for three years at Elfsborg and was then sold to Utrecht before he moved to Preston in the summer.Okkels said: “We have spoken a lot. “First of all, I know him (Jimmy) and what he expects from his players, how he sees football and what he wants. “That is something I have been used to before and hopefully that will be a good fit.
