Wilfried Gnonto could push to leave Leeds United amid interest from Sean Dyche’s Everton, according to a report.
90min has reported that Everton are interested in signing Wilfried Gnonto from Leeds United in the summer transfer window.
The Toffees have already made a bid of £15 million for the Italy international winger.
Leeds, who will play in the Championship next season after getting relegated from the Premier League, have rejected it.
90min has added that “a move is not out of the question for Gnonto, who may push to leave Elland Road with a place in Roberto Mancini’s Italy squad for Euro 2024 potentially at stake”.
Gnonto, described by Andrea Radrizzani as “exceptional” in TuttoMercatoWeb in March, has scored one goal in 11 appearances for the Italy national football team.
Everton could be able to sign Wilfried Gnonto from Leeds United
In our opinion, Everton could be able to sign Wilfried Gnonto from Leeds United in the summer transfer window.
Leeds turning down an offer of £15 million suggests that they want more for the winger, so Everton will have to return to the negotiating table with a better offer.
As 90min notes, the 19-year-old himself could push for a move away from Leeds this summer.
That could be a big factor in a potential transfer.
Would Leeds really be willing to keep a player against his will?
Surely it would make sense for Leeds to cash in on Gnonto if he wanted to leave.
The winger joined Leeds only in the summer of 2022 and was very good in his debut season at Elland Road.
The teenager made 14 starts and 10 substitute appearances in the Premier League for Leeds last season.
Gnonto scored two goals and gave four assists in those games.
