Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch has admitted the club are aware of FC Zurich’s Wilfried Gnonto but he would be a signing for the future. The Whites are reportedly in talks with the Swiss side over a deal potentially in the region of £5 million for the talented youngster.
The 18-year-old has already been capped four times by Roberto Mancini at senior level for Italy, netting one goal and providing one assist in two matches against Germany. His fine performances have caught the eye of several teams across Europe, including Leeds, who according to reports in Italy, are in talks over his signing.
Speaking in his pre-Chelsea press conference, Marsch acknowledged that Gnonto is a player the club rate very highly but claims that if he is brought in before the end of the current window, he will be a long term project.
