Noah Okafor compared with Wilfried Gnonto and other Leeds United left wingers as transfer nears
With under two weeks to go until deadline day, Leeds United are yet to fulfil all of their transfer ambitions. Noah Okafor seems to be their answer to the left winger hunt.
Despite stealing a vast majority of headlines after the Everton game, Nmecha could well find he's been upgraded on if the €50m (£43m) striker does seal a switch to England shortly, on top of Joel Piroe also feeling less secure about his first-team minutes moving forward.

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.
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.
