Noah Okafor could be on his way to Leeds United this summer.
A very stale 1-1 draw against AC Milan this summer may have just sparked more intrigue as a result of a report emerging from Elland Road.
Okafor has since been linked with a move to Leeds after starting the clash in Dublin and could become the fourth striker arrival for Daniel Farke.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin is edging closer to his move following his exit from Everton, though a deal for Okafor would see him drop down the pecking order before he has even unpacked his bags.
Concerningly similar to the other forwards at Elland Road, Okafor’s record over the last few seasons isn’t easy on the eye, but his ability is certainly there.
The Swiss international has scored just seven times since moving to Italy in 2023, with six of those goals arriving in his first season.
He could be on the move again this summer, and may be available for a fee in the region of £15m-£20m, given the fact that Milan will want to make some profit on their original £11m signing.
Okafor earns a reported £21,183 per week in Milan, though they may have to up that slightly if they are to bring him to Leeds.
Throughout his career, Okafor has had an array of different shirt numbers, including 11 and 17.
Those are currently occupied by Brenden Aaronson and Largie Ramazani, respectively, but his next most used number, 77, is available.
He would become the first-ever player to wear the number for Leeds.
