Wilfried Gnonto is still waiting for the opportunity to show Premier League fans what he can do. Arriving at Elland Road on transfer deadline day last month, Gnonto has been selected in two Leeds United match day squads, but so far Jesse Marsch has not turned his way.
However, his performances for the Whites’ Under-21s have been enough to suggest a senior debut might not be too far away for the Italy international, who turns 19 next month. The forward has enjoyed three run outs with Michael Skubala’s side so far and he has managed to catch the eye in each of them.
Marsch was in attendance for his first appearance in the 6-2 win over Southampton, exciting a sizeable crowd on the night he received his latest call-up from Roberto Mancini. Gnonto was then selected to make a Papa John’s Trophy appearance last week against Tranmere Rovers at Prenton Park.
