Willy Gnonto has developed into a key player since joining Leeds United.
Gnonto arrived on a chaotic deadline day in the summer of 2022 when Jesse Marsch was in charge, and has quickly gone onto become one of Leeds’ brightest young talents.
The 20-year-old was one of the few shining lights of Leeds’ relegation season last year, winning plenty of plaudits from pundits including Michael Owen.
After a difficult summer which saw him looking to force an exit from Leeds, Gnonto has worked hard to get himself back in the team and finally did so in February, and has not looked back since.
Gnonto had six goals in nine starts prior to picking up an injury on international duty, but returned to the starting XI last weekend, where he showed he can be Daniel Farke’s main man despite defeat.
