Leeds to announce Daniel Farke’s next signing as documents complete and medical passed
Leeds have remained active in the transfer window despite the Premier League season starting.
Daniel Farke has been keen to improve multiple areas, including his attack.
This weakness was on show against Everton, with the Peacocks needing a penalty to get past the Toffees despite their dominance throughout.
As a result, numerous names have been linked to Leeds, including Rodrigo Muniz from Fulham.
Now, Farke is set to confirm his ninth signing of the summer ahead of their clash against Arsenal on the weekend.
Noah Okafor passes Leeds United medical
Noah Okafor has been linked to Leeds throughout the transfer window.
The Swiss international spent the latter half of the 2024/25 campaign on loan to Napoli but struggled to break into the squad.
Now back at AC Milan, Leeds have agreed a deal to sign Okafor for just above £17.3million.
- Okafor was sensational at Red Bull Salzburg before his move to Italy
- At AC Milan, the winger struggled for form
- Okafor is also a Swiss international with 24 caps
As a result, the winger was due for a medical at the Yorkshire club as both parties look to make the deal official.
Now, Fabrizio Romano has announced via X on 20 August that Okafor has passed his Leeds medical.
All documents are signed between Leeds United and AC Milan, and an announcement is now set for Thursday.
Can Okafor play in Arsenal vs Leeds?
If the signing is announced on Thursday, Leeds should be able to play Okafor against Arsenal.
Any new player must be registered by midday before a match if they are to play in the upcoming fixture.
Therefore, Leeds have until Friday, 12pm to register Okafor for the Arsenal match ready for their clash on Saturday.
As it stands, the Yorkshire club are on track to do this. However, it remains unclear if Farke will choose to utilise his new signing against the Gunners.
