The Transfer Saga Continues
Despite the swirling rumours of a summer exit, Wilfried Gnonto is anticipated to remain with Leeds United for the start of the season. The young winger has been the subject of transfer speculation for over a year, with a notable attempt to force a move last summer through a strike. Yet, Leeds fans can breathe a sigh of relief as their star player looks set to don the white jersey come the new campaign.
Everton’s Lingering Interest
Everton’s interest in Gnonto has been persistent. The Merseyside club, with Sean Dyche at the helm, is keen on bolstering their wide options and sees Gnonto as a prime candidate. However, their pursuit has yet to translate into a concrete deal, leaving the player’s future at Leeds intact for the time being.
Leeds’ Stance on Gnonto
Following Leeds’ relegation from the Premier League, Gnonto’s departure seemed more likely. However, the club’s valuation and the complexity of negotiations suggest any potential transfer may drag on. Leeds’ intention to retain their talent is clear, and with the Championship season fast approaching, they are eager to have their best players available for selection.
Gnonto’s Impact at Leeds
Since his arrival from FC Zurich in 2022 for £3.8million, Gnonto has made 72 appearances for Leeds, becoming a pivotal figure in their squad. His performance last season under Daniel Farke was particularly impressive, with nine goals and three assists to his name. This form has only heightened the interest in him, yet Leeds remains his home for now.
The Countdown to the Championship
With the Championship season kicking off in less than two weeks, Gnonto is expected to feature in Farke’s plans for the opening match. As the transfer window’s closure looms, any developments regarding Gnonto’s future at Leeds United will be closely monitored, but for now, he remains a key player for the team’s immediate ambitions.
