Okafor joined Leeds United from Milan this summer, and he talked about his transfer in an interview.

Ocafo first said: "I need to regain confidence. When you can only play 10 minutes, 20 minutes, or 30 minutes per game, it is difficult for players to stay in shape. So I made this decision (transfer), and I know my strength. But when you play so little, you won't get used to the rhythm of the game, and you will encounter difficulties."

Ocafo continued: "Every player wants to play more games. Under the coach of Coach Falk, I think I can regain confidence." Ocafo only played 595 minutes last season, and after the winter transfer period, he was loaned to Napoli by Milan and played for only 40 minutes.
