Leeds United reject deadline-day enquiry from Sunderland for Noah Okafor

The Athletic reports that Leeds United rejected a deadline-day enquiry from Premier League rivals Sunderland.

The approach concerned Noah Okafor, and Leeds were not open to a departure.

Leeds entered the final day seeking to add another attacker to allow Willy Gnonto to join Fiorentina.

They were working on a deal for France under-21s winger Jean-Matteo Bahoya from Eintracht Frankfurt.

Gnonto then completed a season-long loan to the Serie A club, which includes a purchase option.
