In addition, Soweto rivals Orlando Pirates have also expressed interest in the player, having reportedly long become a target of theirs.
However, sources indicate that Amakhosi have outpaced Bucs to the services of the lanky defender, who was born in Johannesburg to a South African mother and a Nigerian father.
It appears that the Naturena-based side have already reached an agreement with the 21-year-old.
Okon, who can also play in defensive midfield, featured in 24 matches for SuperSport last term and even contributed a goal.
Although his contract officially expires on June 30, he is expected to finalise the deal with his new club before then.
