Leeds United have launched formal talks with Swiss international forward Noah Okafor, negotiations began last week and continues the weekend.
According to journalist Ben Jacobs, the Yorkshire Club is keen to see it as a primary target to strengthen its attack options before the transfer window closes and strengthen its frontline.
Daniel Fark and his management have already signed Dominic Calvert Lewin this summer, but they want to add another well-known name to the attacking division.
White will open a Premier League campaign with Everton tonight, and the match will provide a better picture of what Leeds’ offense will look like.

The debate has started actively with Okafor, but an agreement with his current club, AC Milan, has yet to reach it.
Leeds is determined to continue the dialogue this week, and hopes to secure a breakthrough before time runs out. Milan is understood on their part to be open to listening to offers, but is not prepared to sanction the move unless the conditions mean both economically and the depth of their team.
The 25-year-old Okafor is considered a very versatile attacker who can play on the frontline. Mostly on the left front, he can also act in the center as a striker or broadly operate to the right if necessary.

On the international stage, Okafor has regularly represented Switzerland since his debut in 2019 and has played in major tournaments such as the Euro 2020 and the 2022 World Cup.
His experience at both national and international levels is an attractive option for Leeds, who are aiming to survive in the Premier League this season.
With negotiations going on, all eyes are about whether the club will be able to sign a contract with Milan in the next few days.
