Javi Gracia has suggested Wilfried Gnonto’s versatility could be a big asset for Leeds United in the coming weeks and months. Gnonto was a surprise omission last weekend at Chelsea, dropping to the bench after 11 straight Premier League starts as Gracia looked to others to play their part at Stamford Bridge.
He did eventually enter the fray, replacing Georginio Rutter in the 68th minute of the contest and for a brief period he took up a central position alongside Mateo Joseph, while Jack Harrison remained on the left. Gnonto did move out to the wing shortly after, though, and that’s where the Italian has spent the majority of his Leeds career so far.
However, Gracia has not ruled out the possibility of using him through the middle again as Leeds attempt to climb away from the relegation zone and secure their Premier League status.
