Wilfried Gnonto's agent has revealed that he expects the teenager to stay at Leeds United next season.
The 19-year-old has enjoyed an impressive debut season at Elland Road despite Leeds' struggles in the Premier League. Gnonto has posted four goals and four assists across all competitions for the Whites since joining from FC Zurich on transfer deadline day in September 2022.
Gnonto has seen his playing time reduced since Javi Gracia took charge back in February, and started only his third game under the Spaniard in the 4-1 defeat at Bournemouth on Sunday.

Despite Leeds being in an alarming position in the relegation battle, agent Claudio Vigorelli anticipates Gnonto to continue his path at Leeds and possibly even extend his contract.
“We have all always believed in Gnonto’s qualities. He’s doing very well at Leeds and I think he’ll stay there, his path is there," Vigorelli told Calciomercato.
"The club is enthusiastic about his performances, after the season we will probably meet to discuss a possible contract extension, but there will be no problems."
