Player now ‘determined’ to leave Leeds United – Situation ‘developing rapidly’
At the weekend, Calcio Atalanta stated Leeds United’s Wilfried Gnonto is being evaluated by Atalanta following El Bilal Touré’s serious injury setback.
The forward is ‘determined not to play’ in the Championship and is keen to leave Daniel Farke’s side before the window closes.
That’s according to Tutto Atalanta, who look at the possibility of the Leeds player joining the Serie A side.
It’s claimed Gian Piero Gasperini’s side have ‘examined the hypotheses’ of signing the 19-year-old but he’s not a priority target for them.
Everton and AS Roma are also in the picture to sign him. The report states Sean Dyche’s side have ‘appeared to be in pole position’ while the Giallorossi have recently joined the transfer race. The latter are looking to take the player on a loan deal.
The Italy international seems to be keen to play in the Premier League or Serie A, in order to improve his chances of representing his country at Euro 2024.
After Roma decided to join the battle with Everton, the Leeds attacker has an ‘important decision ahead of him’.
Tutto Atalanta say the situation around Gnonto is ‘developing rapidly’ and a decision on his future could be made in the ‘coming days’.

LEEDS UNITED NOW CONSIDERING BID FOR ‘FANTASTIC’ STRIKER WITH ‘PACE’
Leeds United are reportedly interested in Josh Sargent, a player head coach Daniel Farke worked with at Norwich City.
According to The Daily Mail, Leeds United want to sign Josh Sargent from Championship rivals Norwich City in the summer transfer window.
The report has claimed that Leeds are considering a bid for the 23-year-old USA international striker.
Leeds head coach Daniel Farke knows the youngster well.
Farke worked with Sargent at Norwich.
Leeds United target Josh Sargent is highly rated
The striker joined the Canaries from Werder Bremen in the summer of 2021.
Farke raved about Sargent on Norwich’s official website at the time: “Josh has a lot of experience in the top level in the Bundesliga in Germany and has been there with many goals and assists. He has also scored goals for his national team.
“He’s a very good striking option for us but is someone who can also play on the wing.
“He has pace and is also good with his head. We know he is always there with a big workload and has a fantastic character.”
Leeds need to sign an experienced and quality striker if they are to finish in the top two of the Championship this season.
Patrick Bamford has had injury problems for a while now, and Georginio Rutter has also struggled with fitness issues.
Leeds need to bring in a striker who can hit the ground running and bang in the goals for fun.
We believe that Sargent would be a good signing for the Whites.
The 23-year-old has scored two goals and given one assist in three Championship matches for Norwich already this season.
The USA international striker scored 13 goals and provided two assists in 37 Championship starts for Norwich last season.
Leeds have made a disappointing start to the Championship season.
The West Yorkshire club have picked up two points from three matches and have scored three goals.
