Wilfried Gnonto picks out the Leeds United teammate that allows him to express himself

Wilfried Gnonto has admitted that it is a "pleasure" to play alongside Tyler Adams at Leeds United as the midfielder gives him the confidence to play with more freedom.

Both Gnonto and Adams arrived at the club in the summer transfer window under then-Leeds head coach Jesse Marsch. The pair have taken no time at all to transition into the squad's set-up and have impressed on numerous occasions this season.

A hamstring injury suffered in training has ruled Adams out of international duty with the USA, with fans hoping he will be fit in time to return against Arsenal. Gnonto meanwhile has been called up to represent Italy during their European Championship qualifying matches, making an impressive 20-minute cameo during the 2-1 defeat to England on Thursday night.
