Noah Okafor joins Napoli as Kvaratskhelia replacement

Napoli has confirmed the signing of AC Milan forward Noah Okafor following the January departure of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to Paris Saint-Germain. The Nigerian-born Switzerland international Okafor joins the Serie A champions on loan until the end of the season, with an option to make the move permanent. His arrival comes after Georgia's Kvaratskhelia departed for PSG in a deal reportedly worth 70 million ($72 million). "Welcome Noah," Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis announced on X (formerly Twitter). Before settling on Okafor, De Laurentiis had reportedly pursued Borussia Dortmunds Karim Adeyemi and Fenerbahces Allan Saint-Maximim. The 24-year-old Okafor has had a challenging season at Milan, scoring just one goal in 11 league appearances since joining from Salzburg in July 2023. Napoli, currently leading Serie A by three points ahead of second-placed Inter Milan, will host Udinese this Sunday as they aim to maintain their position at the top of the table.The post Noah Okafor joins Napoli as Kvaratskhelia replacement appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
