Leeds United is reportedly showing strong interest in AC Milan forward Noah Okafor as they prepare for their Premier League campaign. Sources indicate that Leeds has made progress in negotiations, potentially bolstering their attacking options.

Okafor: A Versatile Attacking Option for Leeds?

Noah Okafor, a Swiss international capable of playing as a centre-forward or on either wing, has emerged as a key target for Leeds. The club has already reinforced their front line with the addition of Lukas Nmecha and are looking to add even more firepower. Okafor's versatility could provide Daniel Farke with tactical flexibility upfront.

Okafor's Track Record

Before joining AC Milan, Okafor played for Red Bull Salzburg, where he made 110 appearances, scoring 34 goals and providing 23 assists. His time at Milan has been punctuated by injuries, but he has still managed to feature 53 times for the Serie A side, scoring seven goals.
