00:01Leeds United have confirmed the signing of Noah Okafor, who has arrived from AC Milan in Italy.
00:08Okafor played against Leeds when the two sides met in pre-season in Dublin, but now has joined the Errand Road Club.
00:17Yes, first of all, we will see not one training session yet, so this afternoon we will be the first time involved.
00:24But yes, we spoke about that we want to bring some quality signings for our offense in, and Noah fits to this perfect age.
00:33He has also played for two big clubs, obviously in Italy, before in his time for Red Bull Salzburg, already on Champions League level.
00:42Player of high potential, he has more or less all the skills anyhow.
00:45And yes, we will also provide him with all the backing and also a good stage to find perhaps a bit more consistency in comparison to what he has done in the last couple of years.
00:58But if he uses his potential and is really focused and concentrated and with hard work, he has all the skills to make an important impact also on this level.
01:09And for that, we are all pretty delighted to have him with us from now on.
01:13And according to Bradford City manager Graeme Alexander, the players in his first-team squad have an authentic connection, which is helping them gain results.
01:25Yeah, look, we don't plan on any of that interaction. It's not like, Rob, make sure you do it or do it.
01:30It's just, I think they feel like they want to do it. You know, that's it.
01:33I saw Josh Neville doing it, Tilly last night, Sam at the end, Bobby on Saturday.
01:39You know, Hump's the week before, it's just what they feel like.
01:44That's it. I think it's authentic. They feel it. It's not just, let's tick a box.
01:50I think they want that relationship, the warmth of the crowd, the backing.
01:56And yeah, I think it's just a natural component. I like it.
02:01Even the huddle before the game, that's something I didn't even expect them to do it.
02:05That's just the captain's decided to do it. Whatever the players feel, makes them feel better and makes them feel more together and with everybody.
