Okafor has signed a 5-year contract after passing a medical, making the step up to a top-five league after a season that saw him record a modest, yet promising 15 G/A in all competitions.

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.

Okafor's announcement as an AC Milan player is expected to continue the trend of the Rossoneri bringing in young talented players with huge scope for improvement.

Milan have added Christian Pulisic from Chelsea and are closing in on a deal to bring in Samuel Chukwueze from Villarreal.
