- Published
Noah Okafor has been explaining explained why Leeds United feels like home to him after making an impressive start to his second season at Elland Road.
The forward told BBC Radio Leeds: "I like to score and assist and to help the team. Goals are the most important thing. This feeling is something I can't describe. It is incredible to score at home games."
Since joining Leeds in August 2025, the Switzerland international has forged a partnership and friendship with Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
"I love him so much as a friend. To play with him makes me so happy. Dom gives me good advice in life. Really happy to have him in my side and in my private life," added Okafor.
So far this season, the 26-year-old has featured in seven games for Leeds, scoring one goal.
"We have good energy and atmosphere in the team. It is special on and off the pitch.
"I am really happy to have a coach like him [Daniel Farke]. He gives me freedom up front."
