Instead, a report from Simon Jones at the Daily Mail suggests that Leeds are looking at pursuing a deal for another Foxes star, versatile full-back James Justin. The Whites are said to be ‘assessing a move’ for the 27-year-old who has just one year left on his contract at the King Power Stadium.

As Leeds close in on the signing of Switzerland international winger Noah Okafor from AC Milan, pending his medical, it seems supporters are still wondering when or if another pure centre forward will arrive at Elland Road.

Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Leeds are closing in on a deal to sign AC Milan striker Noah Okafor. It has been suggested that United have made a bid worth €20million (£17million) to try and sign Okafor this summer.

If a recent report from The Athletic is believed to be true, Leeds United are weighing up a summer move for Noah Okafor. Club-to-club talks have yet to begin for the AC Milan forward, and the Serie A giants have already rejected an offer of around €15m from Bologna, setting their asking price at up to €20m, if Calciomercato is to be believed.
