Crystal Palace have emerged as the latest Premier League club to show an interest in Leeds United starlet Wilfried Gnonto. The forward appears to have clubs lining up to secure his signature this summer following the Whites' relegation from the Premier League and that interest only looks set to intensify as the summer transfer window progresses.
The likes of Everton, Juventus, Manchester City, Arsenal and Fiorentina have already been linked to Gnonto and the Daily Mirror have now added Crystal Palace to a seemingly ever growing list. The report claims Palace, who are still without a permanent manager after ending the season with Roy Hodgson in charge, have identified Gnonto as the man to replace Wilfried Zaha should he opt to leave Selhurst Park.
Zaha is in the final week of his contract in south London and there have been strong suggestions that he could be set to leave the Eagles in favour of a move to Saudi Arabia. Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr are the club in the frame, but the 30-year-old may also decide to renew with Palace.
