Napoli announced through their official channels the arrival of Noah Okafor, who arrives on loan from Milan. The Italian team, which keeps an option to buy for 23 million euros, has closed the signing of the Swiss attacker as a replacement for Kvarastkhelia.

Napoli signed Swiss winger Noah Okafor from Milan on loan but with an option to buy at the end of the season on Monday, on the last day of the transfer window.
"Napoli announce that they have acquired from Milan the registration rights of Noah Okafor on loan with an option to buy," said the Italian club.
After a poor winter transfer window, Serie A leaders Napoli were able to compensate for the departure of their star player, Georgian Khvicha Kvarastkhelia, to PSG with the arrival of Okafor, who had not been a star player at Milan.
The striker came close to RB Leipzig just a few weeks ago, but a deal between the clubs was not completed after the player failed the usual medical tests due to a minor injury. The Germans wanted a player ready immediately and the Swiss was several days away from being back to normal.
In fact, Okafor's failure to sign Okafor for the Red Bulls put the brakes on the arrival of Marcus Rashford, now at Aston Villa, and tipped the balance in favour of Kyle Walker, who made his debut for Milan on Sunday.
