Rangers have initiated talks with Okafor, who impressed with five goals for Heartland last season in the NPFL.
The 30-year-old forward is expected to compete with veteran striker Godwin Obaje for a starting spot.
If signed, Okafor's addition would strengthen Rangers' attack and intensify the competition for places in the team.
