Okafor joins Napoli as Kvaratskhelia replacement
Rome, 4 Feb - Napoli announced on Monday the signing of AC Milan attacker Noah Okafor following the departure of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia last month.
Switzerland's Okafor arrives at the Serie A leaders on loan until the end of the season, with an option to buy.
Georgia's Kvaratskhelia left Napoli in January for Paris Saint-Germain in a deal worth a reported 70 million euros ($72 million).
"Welcome Noah," Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis said on X.
De Laurentiis had attempted to sign Borussia Dortmund's Karim Adeyemi and Fenerbahce's Allan Saint-Maximim before turning his attention to Okafor.
The 24-year-old has scored just one goal in 11 league games for Milan this season having joined from Salzburg in July 2023.
Napoli are three points ahead of second-placed Inter Milan in Serie A before they welcome Udinese on Sunday.BSS
