According to the report, the English club aims to finalise a permanent transfer, but are still looking for an agreement with Milan who have not yet approved Okafor’s transfer.

Okafor has returned to San Siro after a six-month loan spell at Napoli, where he became Serie A champion in 2024-25.

The Switzerland international joined Milan from RB Salzburg for €15.5m in 2023 and has scored seven goals in 43 Serie A appearances with Milan and Napoli.

Okafor scored three goals during the pre-season and was involved as a substitute in a 2-0 win Coppa Italia win over Bari on Sunday.
