Leeds United manager Daniel Farke is preparing his team for their tough away trip to Arsenal. He hopes his team will carry the confidence from their win over Everton at home on Monday night to north London and give a good account of themselves against one of the contenders to win the Premier League.
The Whites confirmed the arrival of Noah Okafor from AC Milan earlier today. He has joined for a deal worth £18m from the Rossoneri and has signed a four-year contract with an option of another year.

He is likely to be registered in time to travel to the Emirates Stadium and be part of the squad when Leeds take on Arsenal on Saturday evening.
Leeds have brought in nine new players for less than £100m this summer, and the club are keen to do a few more deals even though a large part of their incoming transfer business is done for the ongoing window.

Leeds United manager Daniel Farke teases more business
Leeds have strengthened the forward line as per Farke’s demands, but the club are said to be in the market for a couple more signings before the end of the window.
While signing another striker could need a major sale, Leeds are looking to bring in a new full-back before the September 1st transfer deadline, and James Justin is their top target.
Farke admitted that he can sit back and relax at the moment as Leeds have more or less done with most of their incoming summer transfer business.
However, he stressed that the club will remain alive to any market opportunities until the final hours of the window, teasing potentially more new signings.
“I’d say the major part of our business is already done”, Farke said in a press conference.
“We can sit back a little bit and relax, but of course, our key people will stay awake till the last hour of the window, as at this level, we can say never say never.
“But right now, are are in a good position.”
