Former Leeds United striker Jermaine Beckford has waxed lyrical about Whites striker Wilfried Gnonto prior to the FA Cup clash with Fulham. The young Italian international has been one of the standout performers this season, despite being a target for the upcoming transfer window, rather than the beginning of the season.
The 19-year-old has four goals in 16 Leeds United first-team appearances and one assist after arriving from FC Zurich on deadline day. Beckford told the BBC: "What a player his is by the way as well. He's so confident but has an innocence about his play as well.
"Every time he picks the ball up he's got one goal and that's to drive at the defender, commit the defender and he's got such a low centre of gravity and close ball control, he can change directions.
