Inter Milan are reportedly 'regretting' the sale of Wilfried Gnonto to Leeds United after the 19-year-old has taken to life in the Premier League like a duck to water.
Gnonto signed for the Whites from FC Zurich for just £4 million but was previously in Inter Milan's youth academy where he made 38 appearances across various levels.
While in Italy, he netted 14 times and provided five assists but still left the Serie A giants on a free transfer to Zurich where he first appeared on Leeds' radar.

Since then, he's made eight senior appearances for the Italian national team and found his second goal in the Premier League against Manchester United in midweek after just 56 seconds.
Now, it's believed Milan are starting to regret letting the youngster go two-and-a-half-years ago and according to Italian outlet Inter Live, they had two chances to bring him back to San Siro and still didn't make it happen. Gnonto's sale is even referred to as 'one of the greatest regrets of the Nerazzurri' by the Inter news site.
Now he's fallen into Leeds' hands and has quickly become a fan favourite both on and off the pitch with his cheeky demeanour in training contrasted with his lightning quick feet and expert finishing.
With just 15 matches in a Whites shirt, Gnonto is already one of the most exciting youngsters in the Premier League and Inter now are left rueing their mistake.
