The 23-year-old’s arrival has been eagerly anticipated by the Milan dressing room, not least, the team’s star player Rafael Leao.

On one of Okafor’s photos on Instagram, picturing the forward celebrating against Milan, Rafael Leao commented “You better do this with my shirt”. Of course, the Portuguese star recently changed his number from 17 to 10.
