Transfer Targets in Sight
After securing Tim Iroegbunam from Aston Villa, Everton is now eyeing Leeds United’s forward Wilfried Gnonto to sharpen their attack. The club is seeking to bolster their offensive lineup and add a new dimension to their gameplay.
Striker Shakeup at Goodison Park
Everton’s forward line is undergoing changes, with Lewis Dobbin moving to Aston Villa and Dominic Calvert-Lewin in advanced talks with Newcastle. To fill the emerging gap, the Toffees are revisiting their interest in Gnonto, a target from the previous summer’s transfer window.
Gnonto’s Leeds Tenure and Everton’s Interest
Gnonto, who has been on Everton’s radar since last year, made 26 starts in 44 appearances for Leeds last season, contributing nine goals and three assists. Despite his efforts, Leeds missed out on promotion, falling to Southampton in the play-off final. The Italy international, contracted until June 2027, is now reportedly open to a move.
Everton’s Loan Strategy
In addition to Gnonto, Everton is nearing the completion of another deal with Leeds for Jack Harrison on a season-long loan. With Leeds preparing for a summer sale of key players after their promotion setback, Everton is looking to capitalize on the situation.
Leeds United’s Summer Sell-Off
Leeds United, led by Daniel Farke, is expected to offload several stars, including Gnonto and Crysencio Summerville, to reshape the squad for the upcoming season after their unsuccessful bid to return to the Premier League.
