Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Leeds are closing in on a deal to sign AC Milan striker Noah Okafor. It has been suggested that United have made a bid worth €20million (£17million) to try and sign Okafor this summer.
The Whites have looked to strengthen right across the pitch. They have brought in a new goalkeeper in Lucas Perri, three new defenders, including Jaka Bijol, two midfielders, with one of those Newcastle United academy graduate, Sean Longstaff, and a new centre-forward, Lukas Nmecha, on a free transfer.
If a recent report from The Athletic is believed to be true, Leeds United are weighing up a summer move for Noah Okafor. Club-to-club talks have yet to begin for the AC Milan forward, and the Serie A giants have already rejected an offer of around €15m from Bologna, setting their asking price at up to €20m, if Calciomercato is to be believed.
