Noah Okafor

Noah Okafor is one of those players who quietly earns your respect before you even realize you've been watching him for months. Born in 2000 in Binningen to a Nigerian father and a Swiss mother, he came up through FC Basel's academy, made a name for himself at Red Bull Salzburg with his electric pace and clinical finishing, and then earned a move to AC Milan — which for a kid still in his early twenties is no small thing. He plays as a forward but he's versatile enough that managers keep finding new uses for him, which is both a compliment and a bit of a double-edged sword. For the Swiss national team he's been a genuine game-changer off the bench, and I think we're still only seeing the surface of what he can do. The guy's ceiling is genuinely exciting.
