Leeds United are interested in a move for Milan forward Noah Okafor.
There has been no official approach or club-to-club talks at this stage though the 25-year-old is a player that Leeds are looking at in the final weeks of the window.
Okafor spent the second half of the 2024-25 season on loan at Napoli, only making four appearances for club, though he was part of the squad that won the Serie A title. He was set to be loaned to RB Leipzig in January before the deal collapsed.
A Switzerland international who has represented the side at the World Cup, Okafor has been capped 24 times, scoring twice.
Okafor is capable of operating as a centre-forward or on either flank. Leeds have already reinforced their front line this summer with the addition of Lukas Nmecha on a free transfer, while they have also reached an agreement in principle to sign Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who was also a free agent after leaving Everton.
After coming through the academy at Swiss side Basel, Okafor made his debut for the club in May 2018 and signed for Austrian team Red Bull Salzburg. He made 110 appearances for the club, scoring 34 goals and providing 23 assists.
Okafor joined Milan in July 2023 and has gone on to feature 53 times for the Serie A side, scoring seven times, though multiple short-term injuries have seen him miss 24 games across his two seasons in Italy.
In addition to Nmecha, Leeds have brought in goalkeeper Lucas Perri, defenders Lukas Bijol, Sebastiaan Bornauw and Gabriel Gudmundsson and midfielders Anton Stach and Sean Longstaff.
The club are looking to strengthen the right side of defence and hold an interest in Leicester City full-back James Justin. The 27-year-old recorded four goals and two assists in all competitions last season and started Leicester’s Championship opener against Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday, which they won 2-1.
Justin has featured 168 times for Leicester since joining from Luton Town in 2019 and has been capped once by England.
Leeds get their Premier League season underway when they host Everton on Monday.
