Leeds United eye ambitious move for AC Milan’s Noah Okafor

Leeds United are stepping up their attacking reinforcements with a bold move for AC Milan forward Noah Okafor. According to reports, the Premier League side have opened talks with the Italian giants over a potential loan deal for the Swiss international.

The 25-year-old joined Milan in 2023 but has struggled to cement a regular starting spot, scoring seven goals in 39 Serie A appearances. Injuries have also disrupted his rhythm, and with competition for places fierce at the San Siro, Okafor is now seeking a fresh challenge to reignite his career.

A Versatile Attacker Up for Grabs

Comfortable as both a central striker and a winger, Okafor offers flexibility in attack — something Leeds boss Daniel Farke is eager to add to his squad. The Whites are exploring both loan and permanent options, knowing that Okafor still has several key years ahead of him before reaching his peak.

RB Leipzig, his former club, were previously linked as they searched for a replacement for Benjamin Sesko. However, lingering concerns over the forward’s fitness led them to pull back from a deal, opening the door for Leeds to make their move.

Leeds Still Seeking Firepower

Despite a gritty 1-0 victory over Everton at Elland Road yesterday, Farke is convinced his side remain light in the final third. The pursuit of Okafor highlights the club’s determination to bring in proven attacking talent capable of making an immediate impact in the Premier League.

If Leeds can secure the deal, Okafor could prove to be the spark they need to push higher up the table and add more cutting edge to their attack.
