super star exit now comfirmed
This latest news could be a boost for the Toffees in their potential quest to seal a deal for the Italian.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Leeds United winger Wilfried Gnonto still wants to leave the club in the upcoming January transfer window.
- Gnonto’s season has been disrupted by transfer speculation and an injury, with only one goal in nine competitive appearances so far.
- While Gnonto may want to leave, staying with Leeds and helping them secure promotion to the Premier League may be a better option for his career. Whatever happens, he should avoid making himself unavailable for games again.
The Italy international tried to force an exit during the summer transfer window amid links to other clubs, with the player even making himself unavailable for ties against Shrewsbury Town and Birmingham City earlier on in the season.
At the time, the Whites publicly stated that he wasn’t for sale and they followed through on that, with the player’s tactics to seal an exit failing to work in the end.
However, this could be the first of a few battles between the player and the club, with the next window opening in January.
With the player seemingly not keen to play in the Championship, he may be keen to push for an exit from Elland Road once again this winter, though it remains to be seen how he will conduct himself after hitting the headlines for making himself unavailable earlier in the campaign.
How has Wilfried Gnonto got on this season?
The early part of his season was disrupted by this transfer speculation and his decision to make himself unavailable – but he did manage to get himself on the scoresheet in Leeds’ 4-3 away win at Ipswich Town.
That result potentially helped the Whites’ fanbase to keep faith in Daniel Farke following an underwhelming start to 2023/24.
That strike at Portman Road is his only goal of the season so far in his nine appearances, which will disappoint him considering he would have wanted to make more of an impact at a lower level.
However, he did pick up an injury at Hull City, so his season hasn’t been the smoothest.
With more game time under his belt, he could potentially get himself on the scoresheet more often.
