Leeds United: Everton could make bid for 20-year-old after £50m sale

Leeds United could receive a bid for Wilfried Gnonto following Everton’s £50m sale of Amadou Onana, as per the Yorkshire Evening Post.

Leeds United are preparing for another season in the Championship this summer.

Daniel Farke’s side narrowly missed out on promotion last season. They finished 3rd after 46 games and were ultimately just a handful of points behind the champions, Leicester City.

They have been in the middle of a hectic summer which has already seen several first team players depart Elland Road and more could yet follow.

Gnonto, 20, played 39 Championship games for the club last season. He managed eight goals and three assists throughout. He joined the club whilst they were in the Premier League and immediatewly looked like an exciting talent.

However, he has been constantly linked with a move away for about a year now, and Everton have had long-standing interest.

They have been unable to lodge a bid for the 13-cap Italian international, however they have just sold Onana to Aston Villa for around £50m and it is being reported that money may see them launch an official approach for Gnonto.

The end of a saga

The 20-year-old always seemed likely to leave Leeds United from the minute they were relegated over a year ago, it surprised many that he remained at the club last season.
