Noah Okafor is gearing up for a pivotal season at AC Milan, under the guidance of new manager Paulo Fonseca. After a decent first season with the club, where he scored six goals in 36 appearances, Okafor is determined to elevate his game. Despite limited starts, his contributions were crucial, and now he aims to transform from a promising talent into a decisive player.
Calciomercato report how the Swiss forward has embraced change, symbolized by a new haircut, and is open to adapting his role on the field. In a recent friendly against Barcelona, Fonseca utilized Okafor in a central position, encouraging him to engage more with his teammates and exploit his speed. Although he is still regaining sharpness after a vacation, Okafor showed promising signs.
Milan are focused on developing Okafor rather than entertaining transfer rumors linking him to Roma in a potential swap deal involving Tammy Abraham. The club is confident that Okafor can have a breakthrough season and is committed to retaining him. Milan’s management believes that with the right support and opportunities, Okafor can become a key player in their attacking lineup.
As the new season approaches, Okafor’s challenge is to consistently perform and integrate into Fonseca’s system. His ability to adapt and excel will be crucial not only for his club career but also for his international prospects with the Swiss national team.
