Leeds United have reportedly agreed an £18 million transfer for AC Milan and Switzerland striker Noah Okafor. The Premier League new boys are moving fast to assemble a fearsome attack under Daniel Farke, having already signed Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Lukas Nmecha.
Everton boss David Moyes did not name Jack Grealish in his starting lineup for the club's 2025-26 Premier League season opener against Leeds United on Monday. Grealish has been named in the matchday squad and has made it to the Toffees bench and could make his Everton debut later in the match at Elland Road. The Manchester City outcast completed a loan move to the Merseyside club last week.
Former Liverpool star Stewart Downing has revealed that Reds and England legend Steven Gerrard was very close to becoming Leeds United head coach last year. The ex-Three Lions winger claimed that Gerrard had been in talks with the Peacocks before they decided to stick it out with Daniel Farke. The Anfield favourite is currently out of a job after he left Al-Ettifaq earlier this year.
Leeds United are reportedly weighing up a late-window push for AC Milan forward Noah Okafor as they look to supercharge their attacking options. While no official offer has yet been tabled and direct negotiations between the clubs have not taken place, the 25-year-old Swiss international is firmly on the recruitment radar at Elland Road, as reported by The Athletic.
Leeds United are plotting an ambitious move to sign Facundo Buonanotte from Brighton. The Argentine attacking midfielder spent the 2024-25 campaign on loan at Leicester City and had an impressive outing for the Foxes in the Premier League, although the club faced relegation. Leeds boss Daniel Farke is aiming to build a competitive squad so that the club can survive in the top-flight this year.
Leeds are preparing for life in the Premier League and have reportedly set their sights on a former Liverpool star to bolster their attack. The Whites have already made seven signings this summer and are keen to further reinforce their ranks to avoid an immediate return to the Championship.
