According to what Corriere della Sera (via MilanNews) are reporting this morning, the Swiss forward is not seen as the deputy to Olivier Giroud.
He can still play as a centre-forward if necessary but in a different way to the Frenchman, as more of a false nine type, but he was signed to be the deputy to Rafael Leao on the left.
Last season Okafor scored 10 goals and added 5 assists in 32 games for RB Salzburg (in all competitions), with an overall tally of 34 goals and 23 assists in 110 games for the Austrian side.
He did play the majority of games down the middle as either the striker or as a supporting striker, but there will of course be doubts about his ability to replicate that in a more physical league.
