Leeds United press conference as Whites prepare for Saturday’s Premier League clash with Arsenal

Daniel Farke gave updates on Leeds United as the Whites prepare to take on Arsenal at the Emirates at the weekend, on a day in which a new signing at Elland Road was confirmed.

Leeds captain Ethan Ampadu went off injured in the season opener against Everton and Farke has confirmed, when speaking to the media, that he will be out until after the international break.

The Leeds boss also spoke about the latest recruit, Noah Okafor, from AC Milan, who was announced today. The German went into detail about what Okafor can add to his side’s attack and if he will be available to face Arsenal on Saturday.

There was also talk about the transfer market, with Farke still on the lookout for more recruits in attack and defence as he looks to finalise his squad in the hope of surviving the drop this season.
