Noah Okafor’s season has had more ups than downs, but the AC Milan forward is hoping for a chance to prove something to his parent club when Napoli host them this weekend.
It was only at the end of the January mercato when Okafor left Milan, but he has rarely had any chances to show anything for the Partenopei since joining. In fact, he has only made four appearances from the bench for Antonio Conte.
The Italian coach has barely used the winger, which does not bode well for his future if he is to join the Rossoneri in the summer, however, this could be due to physical issues.
As Calciomercato.com states, the winger spent the international break recovering, in an attempt to prove himself to his current club Napoli, and in turn, the Rossoneri, who took a gamble on him 18 months ago.
So, this weekend, he hopes to be given a chance against his parent club, where he can ‘challenge his past with a desire to prove his worth’. A bold goal indeed, but one that the Swissman needs to take for his future.
His opportunity, if it arrives, will likely be from the bench, and Conte could offer him the chance to change his destiny. Failing to do so, though, could have huge implications.
We’ve ruined a lot of players, we’re becoming the Italian Chelsea
Ruined Okafor?
He couldn’t score 10 goals a season in the Austrian league.
He scored a goal in the UCL vs a poor defender like Kalulu and Milan fell in love with him.
What players that Milan has ruined are performing at other teams as the players ruined by Chelsea are?
