Leeds United sent Wilfried Gnonto warning after Nottingham Forest defeat

Both Leon Osman and Nedum Onouha have warned Leeds United that Wilfried Gnonto is carrying their attack as things stand in the Premier League. The young striker has been fast tracked into the first-team set-up and has been a surprise package this season after arriving from FC Zurich in the summer.

The Italian international was a real threat in the first-half against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground, but was unable to find an equaliser after Brennan Johnson gave the hosts the lead. Steve Cooper made a change at half-time, bringing on Serge Aurier to nullify the threat of Gnonto down the right, a decision that proved key in the outcome of the game.

When asked about Leeds' lack of threat in the final third, Osman told Match of The Day 2: "That was it, a slight concern for Leeds United. They've made signings and they're trying to develop, Jesse Marsch said his team are where he wants them to be and it's pushing forward, but their whole attack, certainly today was centred around this young man - Wilfried Gnonto.
