£18m new boy Okafor says he was blown away by the Whites' fanbase
Yorkshire Evening Post
|August 22, 2025
Winger Noah Okafor has been unveiled as Leeds United's ninth signing of the summer, answering boss Daniel Farke's call to further strengthen the Whites front line.
The Swiss international attacker has joined the club for a fee of around £18m including add-ons from AC Milan, the 25-year-old putting pen to paper on a four-year deal, subject to a work permit and international clearance.
Leeds unveiled striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin as the club's eighth signing of the summer on Friday but boss Daniel Farke said Calvert-Lewin's arrival needed to be just the "first step" of adding more to the Whites attack.
News then emerged of United's interest in AC Milan's Switzerland international winger Okafor and the clubs agreed a deal for a fee of around £18m including add-ons.
Okafor flew into the country for his medical on Wednesday and the winger has now completed his switch two days before United's first away game of the new Premier League season at Saturday evening's hosts Arsenal.
