Wilfried Gnonto is perfectly within his rights to consider his options this summer. The Leeds United forward was one of the Whites’ brightest and most promising performers in the Premier League last season and interest in his services was always inevitable following the club’s relegation.
The likes of Everton, Brighton, Crystal Palace, Manchester City and Arsenal have been linked with the 19-year-old services so far and an approach from any one of those clubs would be hard to resist for Gnonto, who will obviously see himself as a Premier League player. Leeds will know how much of a challenge keeping hold of him will be this summer, too, alongside a host of others.
But, relegation doesn’t necessarily have to be the end of the road when it comes to Gnonto’s career at Elland Road. In fact, there’s argument to say that, at his tender age, it could well be the making of it.
