Playing Style
Okafor is a quick, direct forward who can play off the left wing or as a striker. He stays high and wide and is a frequent dribbler, credited with 4.2 dribbles per 90 in 2024-25.
Taking players on is the core of his game. Whether from the left or through the middle, he looks to beat defenders with the ball rather than hold play up, which gives Murat Yakin a quick, direct forward option in Switzerland's attack.
