Leeds United fans may be starting to experience a little bit of anxiety as the noise around Wilfried Gnonto grows. Gnonto has only been at Elland Road since September 2, but his name is already starting to feature in transfer gossip columns across the continent.
Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City are the latest clubs said to be keeping tabs on him, as per Gazzetta Dello Sport, while some of Serie A’s elite outfits have been credited with interest in taking him back to his homeland, too. The talk shouldn’t come as a surprise to United supporters, who have seen him step into the side, establish himself and become one of the Premier League’s brightest young talents over the last few months.
The 19-year-old has bagged four goals since the turn of the year, with efforts coming against West Ham United and Manchester United in the Premier League, either side of his spectacular brace against Cardiff City in the FA Cup. His performances on the left have given Leeds an attacking outlet that they have been forced to rely upon at times this year and while he hasn’t featured quite as much under Javi Gracia so far, he will undoubtedly play a key role if the Whites are to avoid slipping out of the Premier League this season.
