Swiss international striker Noah Okafor is en route to England to complete his transfer from AC Milan to Leeds United. The 23-year-old is set to sign a four-year contract with the newly promoted Premier League club.
Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano shared an image on social media showing Okafor aboard a private jet Wednesday morning, confirming his journey to England to finalize the deal.
The transfer fee is reported to exceed €20 million, providing a significant boost to AC Milan`s finances. Leeds United, eager to strengthen their squad for the upcoming Premier League campaign, view Okafor as a key addition to their attacking options.
Okafor`s move to Leeds marks a new chapter in his career after a stint with AC Milan. The young striker will be looking to make an immediate impact in the English top flight and help Leeds establish themselves in the Premier League.
The completion of this transfer is expected to be announced officially by both clubs once Okafor undergoes his medical examination and puts pen to paper on his new contract with Leeds United.
