Switzerland U19 international of Nigerian descent, Tobias Okafor, is attracting interest from clubs across Europe's top five leagues ahead of the summer transfer window.

Tobias is the cousin of cap-tied Switzerland international Noah Okafor, also of Nigerian descent, who currently plies his trade with Premier League side Leeds United.

Renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported on Wednesday evening that Tobias Okafor has received several proposals following his Super League debut for FC Winterthur, with Bundesliga and Serie A clubs showing interest and Premier League sides closely monitoring his situation.

Primarily a left-back, the 19-year-old made his first Super League start this season, featuring for 62 minutes as FC Winterthur suffered a 2–0 defeat to Sion.

Manager Patrick Rahmen handed Okafor his top-flight debut amid an injury crisis that left several regular starters unavailable for selection.

Okafor began his football journey at FC Aarau before securing a move to FC Zürich in the summer of 2024, later joining FC Winterthur in February 2025. 

At Winterthur, he initially featured for the U21 side, where he was deployed in a variety of positions.
