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 and raised in Switzerland despite his American roots, 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.
