Daniel Farke<\/a> could now be set to see an even better version of Okafor.<\/p>\nWith the World Cup coming up in the summer, and Switzerland already confirmed for the tournament, the Leeds forward could now have his eyes on making that plane.<\/p>\n

After the previous feud, Okafor will have to prove himself even more, and over the next few weeks, his desire to go to North America in the summer will become clear.<\/p>\n
It is a new motivation that the 25-year-old was likely not anticipating, but now it comes to the benefit of every party involved.<\/p>\n
Okafor could turn a big corner at Elland Road, Farke gets a forward with more motivation than ever, and Switzerland gets an attacker in fine form.<\/p>\n
It will certainly be an interesting few weeks.<\/p>\n
Will Okafor start against Birmingham City?<\/p>\n
After two goals in two games, it would seem unwise to stop Okafor\u2019s form in its tracks. <\/p>\n
The Swiss forward did not start against Chelsea due to Farke claiming his body needed more time to rest after his Nottingham Forest performance.<\/p>\n
However, between Chelsea and Birmingham, he has had plenty of time to recover, and that should see him get the nod.<\/p>\n
A match against Championship opposition is an excellent fixture to allow the forward to continue his form and provide him more confidence.<\/p>\n
Okafor will certainly be hoping his international manager is keeping an eye on him once again.<\/p>\n
