No Swiss player has scored more goals in a single Premier League campaign than Leeds forward Noah Okafor. In fact, among those to play 200+ minutes since the start of February, Okafor has the best goals-to-minutes ratio of any player in the division. His “excellent impact” has drawn high praise from manager Daniel Farke. His goal contributions have probably earned Leeds a place in the Premier League next season. But rather than celebrate his recent flurry as an achievement of his own, the 25-year-old prefers to speak bigger picture.
“The main topic for me is to get points for the team,” he tells Sky Sports, ahead of facing Tottenham on Monday Night Football. “The team has a big energy, a positive energy, a good atmosphere. We find each other, performing very well because we’ve worked hard for this moment.”

Kick off 8:00pm
This fixture at this particular juncture could have held very different meaning for Leeds. Its result could have been consequential in the battle to avoid relegation. But Farke was not prepared to roll the dice of chance.Since the start of December, only six teams have picked up more Premier League points than Leeds. Only three teams have lost fewer games than their four. While Spurs have slid quite catastrophically towards the drop, Leeds have lifted themselves in the opposite direction. Time to ease off the gas, then?
