Sean Dyche’s Everton could be about to complete the signing of Wilfried Gnonto from Leeds United, according to a report.
TMW have reported that Everton have made an offer of €20 million (£17.26 million) to Leeds United for Wilfried Gnonto.
The Italian news outlet has claimed that Leeds want €22 million (£18.99 million) in transfer fees for the 19-year-old Italy international winger.
So, if Everton pay the €2 million (£1.73 million) extra needed, then the Toffees would secure the services of Gnonto.
The report has added that “the feeling is that the deal can go through”.
Everton should pay £20m for Leeds United winger Wilfried Gnonto
In our opinion, Everton should pay the £20 million needed to sign Wilfried Gnonto from Leeds United in the summer transfer window.
We believe that Gnonto would be a very good signing for the Toffees.
The winger is fast, has skills, can beat opposition players, and is only 19.
And he has played 11 times already for Italy.
Gnonto can only get better in the coming years.
Perhaps in three or four years’ time, Everton could be able to sell Gnonto for a fee much larger than the £20 million they would have to pay for him right now.
Gnonto made 14 starts and 10 substitute appearances in the Premier League for Leeds last season.
The winger, who was described by Andrea Radrizzani as “exceptional” in TuttoMercatoWeb in March, scored two goals and gave four assists in those matches.
Under Everton manager Sean Dyche, the Italian could improve and add facets to his game.
Leeds will play in the Championship this season after getting relegated from the Premier League at the end of the last campaign.
Everton almost got relegated from the top flight of English football at the end of last season.
A player of Gnonto’s quality and potential would be an asset to Everton.
