First impressions at Thorp Arch have gone down swimmingly for new Leeds United forward Wilfried Gnonto. The 18-year-old has now completed his first week at the training ground with his new team-mates and the Italy international now has at least another seven days until he has a chance to debut.
Gnonto’s move was pushed through at the 11th hour of the summer transfer window last week and led to what became a whirlwind few hours for the teenager. A heart-warming video of his first meeting with Jesse Marsch was released by the club last week.
In it, the head coach put Gnonto at ease, took any immediate pressure off him and cleared him to return to Switzerland for the weekend before making any arrangements and returning to West Yorkshire. Marsch was also proactive in looking to meet the striker’s family, who were on-site too.
