Following Crysencio Summerville’s departure to West Ham United, Wilfried Gnonto is now also considering a move. However, unlike last summer, the winger is not looking to cause any drama at Elland Road.
Everton has shown interest in the Italian player since last summer, with Leeds United rejecting a £23 million bid for the 20-year-old winger and likely holding out for a higher offer.
Last summer, Wilfried made a scene at Elland Road due to his reluctance to play in the Championship. His agent even submitted a transfer request on his behalf, which was promptly denied by the club. This led to Willy skipping training sessions and expressing doubts about his availability for matches.
Leeds United took disciplinary action against the winger to diffuse the situation, releasing a statement regarding the matter. Meanwhile, Everton has not given up on their pursuit of Wilfried and is expected to come back with an improved offer.
Despite Everton’s ongoing interest, Wilfried seems to be approaching the situation in a more measured way this time. He aims to reach a mutual agreement with all parties involved to avoid any future issues.
In response to the rejected bid, Sean Dyche discussed the club’s financial constraints and the need for patience in the transfer market. He emphasized the importance of building a team within the available resources while remaining open to potential signings in the future.
