Noah Okafor has arrived at Leeds United. Well, technically he arrived in August, but his performance in Saturday's win at Wolves suggests Daniel Farke's side could have a big talent on their hands.

The Switzerland international attempted 12 dribbles in the first half alone. While not all were successful, his willingness to take players on and make things happen is a welcome addition to a team that had scored just one Premier League goal before this game.

More important than his dribbles was his goal, calmly sliding the ball past Jose Sa with real composure.

At a time when possession percentages are prevalent in football, it is refreshing to watch players who simply want to get on the ball and beat defenders.

Okafor is one of those, and he could play a key role in Leeds' season.
