Leeds United are on the verge of securing the signing of Swiss international Noah Okafor from AC Milan, in what would be a significant boost to Daniel Farke’s attacking options.
Talks between the two clubs have advanced rapidly in recent days, with reports indicating that an agreement worth around £18 million has been struck, including add-ons. Okafor has already undergone his medical in Yorkshire, and personal terms on a four-year deal with an option to extend are believed to be in place.
The 25-year-old forward, who can operate across the frontline, impressed during pre-season with Milan, showcasing his pace, movement, and eye for goal. Leeds see him as the versatile attacker capable of lifting their frontline and easing the burden on current strikers Joël Piroe and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
For Farke, this transfer represents a major statement of intent as Leeds aim to push higher up the Premier League table. Okafor’s blend of top-level European experience and adaptability is expected to make him an immediate asset.
With the deal all but completed, an official announcement from Leeds is expected imminently, making Okafor one of the headline arrivals of the summer at Elland Road.
