[Getty Images] Leeds United winger Noah Okafor says his biggest targets this season were to "adapt in the Premier League, be ready in each and every game, train hard and try to improve". Speaking to BBC Radio Leeds, the 25-year-old said: "You can see when I'm on the pitch I try to give everything to help the team. "I'm so happy that I can help the team - also with some goals.

For an outfield player I think it's the nicest thing to score and to win. " The winger has only missed six games due to injury this campaign - fewer than in each of the past six seasons. To ensure he has been available for Daniel Farke's side, Okafor said he has worked "extremely hard" off the pitch, which he believes has helped significantly and the medical staff at the club are "transparent" and have "a clear plan" - something he feels is important when you get an injury.
