Leeds United Set to Land Noah Okafor in Ambitious Premier League Move
Leeds United is on the verge of completing the signing of Swiss international Noah Okafor from AC Milan, signaling a bold statement of intent following their return to the Premier League. The deal, reportedly worth €21 million including bonuses, reflects the club’s determination to strengthen their attacking options ahead of a challenging top-flight campaign.
Okafor’s time at Milan was marked by inconsistency and limited opportunities. After joining from RB Salzburg in 2023, he made 29 appearances in Serie A but started only six matches, contributing six goals and two assists. A loan move to Napoli in January offered him more regular playing time and a taste of title contention, but upon returning to Milan, he remained on the fringes. His move to Leeds represents a fresh opportunity to reestablish himself at a club eager for impact.
Daniel Farke, the Leeds manager, has played a pivotal role in bringing Okafor to Elland Road. The German coach values the forward's pace, movement, and versatility across the front line—qualities he believes are essential for Leeds to compete effectively in the Premier League. Farke sees Okafor as someone who can immediately elevate the team’s attacking threat and adapt to different tactical setups.
Despite interest from other European clubs, Leeds managed to convince Okafor with the promise of a key role and a clear project under Farke’s leadership. With personal terms agreed and a medical scheduled, the transfer is expected to be finalized shortly. Okafor’s arrival underlines Leeds United’s serious approach to their Premier League return, aiming not only for survival but for a competitive resurgence.a
