noah okafor shines leeds united Scored two goals against Manchester United on Monday.

Victory at Old Trafford would be of huge importance for the Whites, who are now six points ahead of 18th-placed Tottenham. They will soon take over a struggling London side, but for now they still have some breathing room.

The Swiss attacker, who was brought from AC Milan £18m, now six goals in the campaign. While he has struggled for consistency, Okafor has now scored against Manchester United, Tottenham and Chelsea, showing how he is a player for the big occasions.

However, this was not entirely true at the Rossoneri. He played 54 times in all competitions for them, scoring seven times. On loan at Napoli, he could never really convince Antonio Conte.

sports witness His move to Elland Road was extensively covered, as Milan showed little hesitation in selling him.

His brace this week is raising eyebrows in Italy, leading many to wonder whether his sale to Leeds United was worth it.

No regrets about the deal

milanlive Note that Noah Okafor has not had a great season. He may have scored big goals against Manchester United, but he feels he has only found his form in recent weeks.

Milan’s instability last season probably affected the Switzerland international. They had two managers in charge in the 2024/25 campaign as they missed out on the Champions League spots.

Despite this, Okafor has no regrets about his sale to Leeds United, and it is believed that a good deal was negotiated.

They explore the argument that the 25-year-old could have contributed more than Christopher Nkunku. But the idea has been shelved as Milan are happy with how much they made from Okafor’s exit by signing him. €14m.

Our Opinion: Milan’s instability affects Okafor

The 2024/25 campaign was quite a strange one for Milan. Almost every player struggled, as both Sergio Conceição and Paulo Fonseca brought out the best in the team.

As a result, the Swiss forward was never able to find his best footing with the Rossoneri. This was in contrast to the 2023/24 campaign, when he was much better under Stefano Pioli.

Milan have struggled in attack this season. Almost all of their attackers have struggled in 2026. Considering this and how they have been a bit more stable under Max Allegri, Okafor could have been quite a useful option.

Leeds United should have no complaints as Daniel Farke is getting a tune-up from the versatile forward.

Defender Per Schuurs has revealed the worst period of his career and how it ruined his move to Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur.

In an emotional interview with De Telegraph, The 26-year-old describes a two-year battle with pain, uncertainty and mental collapse, and how he is now finally seeing his way back.

Crystal Palace and Tottenham efforts

Per Schuurs is currently a free agent after leaving Torino in February. That departure followed two years of injury. He previously spent 286 days out due to a cruciate ligament injury in October 2024 and is currently on 618 days out after knee surgery.

Before the latest problem, he was one of Serie A’s most sought-after defenders. After impressing at Torino, he left a number of Premier League clubs giving him tough competition. This included Crystal Palace and Tottenham.

“I reached a five-year contract with Inter in the summer, but the club could not reach an agreement with Torino,” he said.

“Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur also wanted to trade and pay more. They offered €35m, Inter offered 30m. While Torino demanded at least €40m. A standoff occurred. This also played a part in the background. I was sick of not making a transfer. In fact, still am,”

injury nightmare

Two months later, Per Schuurs suffered an injury that changed everything. The knee injury, despite injury, has created a medical mystery that has baffled experts across Europe.

“Everything seemed to be going well, but after a week I had a reaction on the outside of my knee,” he said.

“I was dying of pain. Instead of four weeks, I walked on crutches for four months. That’s when all the alarm bells rang. I saw the best orthopedic specialists in England, France, Italy and the Netherlands. But the reason for the complaints was not found.”

This made the guard sad. Not only had he missed out on big steps forward at Crystal Palace and Tottenham, but his career was now on the decline.

He admitted, “I had fallen from the pinnacle of my career and the most beautiful phase of my personal life into the deepest abyss of which I did not even know.”

“This manifested as crying and extreme anger. One evening, when I really couldn’t take it anymore, I said to my girlfriend: Sleep well and I hope I don’t wake up again. I never thought about ending my life.”

focus on return

Now the defender is back on the road to recovery. He can see the light at the end of the tunnel and is hoping to create a redemption arc for the movies.

He concluded, “I would prefer to lie in bed with the curtains closed.”

“I was amazed at the person I had become; I had not been the same for two years. I have been pain free for weeks now and am feeling better and better. I want to come back the most beautiful I have ever been.

“I’m concentrating on being in top shape until the end of June. Then I’ll start looking for a club. When I think about it, I have tears in my eyes. On the other hand, it’s painful that it’s a dream.”

Chelsea defender Mamadou Sarr has insisted he has no regrets about joining the club or leaving Strasbourg in January to do so.

Sarr is speaking to De Sports This week about the switch. He insists he is happy with his move to Stamford Bridge.

starter for bench

turned 20 years old Latest player to swap Strasbourg for Chelsea When he made the move at the end of the January transfer window.

He was on loan at the French club after joining Chelsea in a €14m deal from their sister club in June last year.

He was a key player under Liam Rosenior and Gary O’Neill and was part of Chelsea’s long-term plans. But the decision was soon taken to move him back to Stamford Bridge amid a defensive crisis at the club.

This meant swapping guaranteed minutes in France for a backup role at Chelsea. To date, he has started one Premier League game and spent five on the bench as an unused substitute. However, he is not worried about it.

“I don’t regret leaving Strasbourg, because I have reached a big club where to play you have to earn your place,” He said.

chelsea struggles

The defender’s lack of concern comes despite Chelsea being in the midst of a disappointing run of form under Rosenière.

Saturday’s 3-0 defeat to Everton was their fourth consecutive defeat in all competitions, which also included an 8-2 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain over two legs in the Champions League. They have also failed to score in their last three matches while they have conceded 12 goals in their last four matches.

After a strong start under Rosenior in January, the Blues have struggled recently, and the pressure on the former Strasbourg coach is increasing.

Dissatisfaction is growing among fans, and Sarr feels the international break may have come at the right time.

“I think the break will benefit us, and we will clear our minds when we resume training,he adds.

“Every footballer goes through such moments (against PSG). The important thing is to pick yourself up and carry on.”

Doubt about the future

The question is whether Chelsea can pick themselves out for the remainder of the season. The FA Cup clash with Port Vale after the international break provides some respite, at least on paper.

But with matches against Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool coming up, the race for a Champions League spot is not going to be easy.

On Sunday evening, the Golden State Warriors’ losing streak continued with a narrow road loss at the hands of the New York Knicks. The Warriors put in an admirable effort in this game, sidelining Stephen Curry and several other key players, but ultimately, they gave up a 21-point lead and suffered a tough loss.

At one point in the second quarter, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr yelled at rookie Will Richard after he was unable to block an overthrow pass from Brandin Podzimski on a fast break, leading to a turnover.

After the game, Kerr explained what he was thinking during that moment, and also expressed regret for his anger.

“It was a bad pass from BP. BP should have made a nice pass and Will should have dunked. Turned into a 5-point swing. I was angry at Will because I thought he could have turned the ball over and not made the throw. I thought he was trying to make a round-the-back pass for a score. I’m not sure, I could be wrong,” Kerr said, according to @jinttherty on Twitter. Said.

He said, “…I regret losing my composure there a bit because it’s my job to keep players forward, especially without so many players. That’s a big part of winning games like this. Making good decisions, understanding how valuable the ball is.”

It was indeed a bizarre scene, considering that the turnover originated from Podziemski’s pass, and there was nothing wrong done on Richard’s part.

Overall, the Warriors are currently 32-35 on the season, and have moved into a situation where they must win two elimination games to make the playoffs when the postseason begins today.

The Warriors next play against the Washington Wizards on Monday evening.

On the same night that the Los Angeles Lakers honored Pat Riley with a statue for his time with the franchise, they recalled LeBron James’ days with the Miami Heat. Hall of Fame center Chris Bosh expressed his displeasure over James’ departure. Maybe Riley did the same, still wondering what if? LeBron, Bosh and Dwyane Wade won two championships in four seasons before LeBron signed with the Cleveland Cavs in 2014.

According to Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald, Riley believes James could lead the Heat to a third title.

Riley, 80, said when asked what James’ four-year tenure with the Heat meant to him during a press conference in Los Angeles on Sunday, “I thought with the Big 3 – Dwayne, Chris Bosh and especially LeBron – we finally put together what I thought could be a dynasty.”

“It was. Four consecutive trips to the finals, two world championships. It was an incredible run. And as a coach and someone who really thought about building that special team and built it, I saw something that could last for eight to 10 years.”

Nevertheless, Riley understood James’ decision to return to Cleveland, which ultimately led to the Cavs winning their first championship in franchise history.

“I get it,” Riley said of James’ decision to leave the Heat, adding that she now feels at peace with the way things are going 12 years after James’ departure. “Business in the NBA is business in the NBA. Players have opportunities to go elsewhere; he went to Cleveland and won a title there. So I wish him all the best.

“But I’m going to be selfish here and say I wish I had him for the next six or eight years. It would have been great. But we’ll never know, right?”

James will win his fourth title in 2020 and his first with the Lakers.

LeBron James is considering leaving the Heat

All-Star LeBron James honored Heat president Pat Riley, who led the Lakers to four championships from 1982 to 1988 as head coach. From his front-office position, Riley, who led the 2006 champion Heat to a title as coach, wanted James to lead his team to at least three championships.

James discussed his time with the Heat when a reporter relayed Riley’s comments, as noted by the Miami Herald.

Asked about Riley’s comments, James told reporters in Los Angeles on Sunday, “I never said I’d go there for four years and decide to go somewhere else.” “That’s the way the cards were played. But, yes, it’s human nature to look back and say what could have been. But that’s part of life. I thought the four years we had, obviously, were great.

“We managed to win two championships, unfortunately we lost two of them. But a lot of good memories, a lot of good times there. It will be interesting to see what could have been.”

The Lakers lost to the Celtics 111-89 on Sunday.
