Wilfried Gnonto’s agent has revealed that his client is keen to remain in the Premier League and is attracting interest from a number of clubs amid links to Everton.
Sky Italia reported over the weekend that the recently-relegated forward is attracting interest from the Goodison Park club over a potential switch.
The 19-year-old enjoyed an impressive debut season at Elland Road despite Leeds' struggles in the Premier League.
Gnonto scored four goals and provided four assists for the Whites after signing from FC Zurich last summer. He is one of a number of Leeds stars that Everton have been linked with in recent weeks.

The 19-year-old is currently representing Italy at the Euro U21 Championships in Romania and Georgia, and while that remains his primary focus at the moment, talks are planned, according to his agent Claudio Vigorelli, with the Leeds hierarchy over his youngster's future in the coming weeks.
"I say that we are concentrating on the national team and the European championship," Vigorelli told Calciomercato. "Then we have to talk to Leeds, and we’ll see, but I think there will be options.
"The Premier League experience has been fantastic for him, and I think he wants to continue in that direction. Then, in football, everything can be, but right now the focus is on the national team."
Everton boss Sean Dyche and Director of Football Kevin Thelwell face another crucial summer in the transfer market as they attempt to trim a bloated squad and bring together a group that will be fit for purpose.
