Despite creating a fair amount of chances, Leeds are struggling for goals this season.Daniel Farke sees his side sitting 12th in the table in terms of xG (expected goals) with 12.94 xG – substantially more than the nine Premier League goals Leeds have actually scored in ten outings so far.The Switzerland boss has now told Okafor he needs to score more goals after leaving him out of his squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Sweden and Kosovo.
Yakin said: “I’ve spoken with Okafor repeatedly, telling him what I expect from him on and off the pitch. I hope my words eventually get through to him.
“We’ll continue to monitor him. Attacking players are also measured by their goalscoring. Those who are currently in the squad have an advantage over Okafor in that regard.”
With only two goals in seven Premier League appearances so far, Okafor might now start to become more desperate to impress Yakin, which may lead to some selfishness in the final third.
