Noah Okafor ‘wanted to stay’ with £35m deadline-day offer on table | OneFootball

Leeds United turned away several approaches for Noah Okafor before the window closed, according to Fabrizio Romano.

A £35m bid remained on the table on deadline day. The report adds that Leeds view the Swiss international as a key player and that the 26-year-old wanted to stay at Elland Road.

Leeds have also brought in competition, with Jean-Mattéo Bahoya joining from Eintracht Frankfurt on loan with an option to buy.

Okafor has started two of the three games this season in a central role, rather than the flank where he impressed last term.

He has made 36 appearances under Daniel Farke, scoring eight and assisting three, despite a couple of knocks last season.

The forward arrived from AC Milan last summer and has three years left on his contract.
