Fabrizio Romano has reported on Twitter that Everton could make a bid again for Leeds United winger Wilfried Gnonto.

The Italian journalist has claimed that Everton are prepared to make a new offer for Leeds United and Italy international winger Wilfried Gnonto in the summer transfer window.

The Toffees “are prepared to try again in the next days” for the teenager, according to Romano.

Romano has added that the 19-year-old winger is determined to leave Leeds and has submitted a written transfer request.

Everton have had already had an offer of £15 million for Gnonto turned down, according to The Daily Mail.

There is speculation that Leeds have turned down an improved offer of £25 million from Everton for the winger, who was described by Andrea Radrizzani as “exceptional” in TuttoMercatoWeb in March.

Everton should move on from Leeds United winger Wilfried Gnonto

In our view, Everton should move on from Leeds United and Italy international winger Wilfried Gnonto.

We do not think that the Toffees should try for the winger anymore.

Leeds clearly do not want to sell Gnonto.

And the summer transfer window will close soon.

We do not think that Everton should let this drag on any further.

Moreover, the Toffees have already signed Jack Harrison on loan from Leeds.

Everton do not need to bring in another wide player between now and the end of the summer transfer window.

Arnaut Danjuma, Harrison, Dwight McNeil, Demarai Gray and Neal Maupay are the main wide options for Everton manager Sean Dyche at the moment.

What Everton need right now is a ‘natural striker’ who can compensate for the injury problems that Dominic Calvert-Lewin often has.

Yes, Everton have signed Youssef Chermiti, but he is only 19 and cannot be expected to hit the ground running at Goodison Park.
