Leeds United's Noah Okafor says head coach Daniel Farke knows how to bring the best out of him by giving the winger "freedom".

"For me, he is a top coach and a top guy," Okafor told BBC Radio Leeds.

"He knows exactly what he wants from the players - that's why I feel so comfortable.

"He has given me a little bit of freedom in front to move a little bit how I feel and I think he knows this. I try to always give everything for him, for the team and the fans.

"He is a really good coach. I need this freedom to perform at the highest level and that is what I'm doing now."

Okafor also feels forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin positively influences his performances.

"The way he moves, fights, wins second balls and holds the ball is really useful and successful for me. With him in front, I play really comfortably," he added.

"He's also a good guy off the pitch, I really like him. We have to keep going like this and try to score more and more."
