Leeds United already have perfect Noah Okafor welcome gift ready after £17m transfer update
Okafor wore the number 77 during his time at Red Bull Salzburg, and could choose to do so at Leeds with the number available - and it could be the perfect welcome gift for him once he completes his transfer.

If a recent report from The Athletic is believed to be true, Leeds United are weighing up a summer move for Noah Okafor.

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.
