Noah Okafor admits Rafael Leao had influence on AC Milan move

Noah Okafor admits Rafael Leao had an influence on his move to AC Milan.

The former RB Salzburg striker joined Milan this past weekend.

Okafor said: “I've known him for quite a long. The first time we met was in Switzerland vs. Portugal, then with Milan [against RB Salzburg].

“We started texting, changed jerseys, remained in contact, and sometimes he Facetimed. He's a good guy, always positive. He always tells me Milan is a great club, where we train with fast players and dribblers, I can't wait to get on the pitch with him. Not off the pitch like before.

“He said that with my quality and speed in the one vs. one, Italy is a good next step and I feel confident and good to try Milan."
