Noah Okafor is drawing summer interest after a standout finish to his first season at Leeds United, and he has left the door open.

“I’m incredibly happy in Leeds and very grateful for everything they’ve made possible for me there. Yes, I’m a Leeds player, and everything that comes or will come in the future is my agency’s responsibility. We’ll see what happens,” he said. Bild’s Stammplatz podcast reports that clubs in England and Germany are interested.

The 25-year-old joined from AC Milan for £18 million, started slowly, then emerged as a key figure under Daniel Farke. Since February he has six goals and one assist in seven Premier League matches, earning a call-up to Switzerland’s 2026 FIFA World Cup squad.

Such attention follows performances that helped Leeds secure their top-flight place for another season. Losing a player of his calibre in the upcoming window would be a significant setback.

Leeds will hope the club’s ambition and Okafor’s stated happiness keep him at Elland Road, although his own words indicate nothing is guaranteed. Off the pitch, Elland Road expansion plans are progressing as the Whites prepare for a busy summer.
