Leeds United decision due on Willy Gnonto after what he did behind the scenes
Leeds United are set to make a decision on the future of forward Willy Gnonto after he has asked to leave the club, according to the Daily Mail.
The newspaper reported on page 73 of its print edition on 11 August that the Italy international wants to play in the Premier League after he has been linked with a move to Everton this summer.
It said the Toffees are waiting for the Whites to make a decision on the 19-year-old as they get their top-flight campaign underway this weekend.
Leaving
It’s looking more likely by the day that Gnonto is not going to be a Leeds player for much longer as this transfer saga continues to develop.
It’s pretty clear that he doesn’t want to be at the club after Sky Sports reported on 10 August that he asked not to be selected for the game against Shrewsbury Town in the Carabao Cup on 9 August.
That has only fuelled the speculation around his future and the last thing the club need at the moment in time is a player that doesn’t want to be at Elland Road.
Daniel Farke only needs players that are completely committed to the cause as he looks to help guide the Whites back up to the Premier League.
Gnonto clearly wants to carry on playing at the highest level – like a number of his teammates from last season have decided to do this summer – so it’s incredibly likely that he will be leaving West Yorkshire before too long.
