Leeds United has seen a total of eight players leave the team this summer, prompting a focus on finding suitable replacements. However, the agent of one Leeds player is currently looking to secure a move away for their client.
Georginio Rutter recently joined Brighton, adding to the departure of players like Archie Gray, Crysencio Summerville, and Glen Kamara. With significant earnings from player sales reaching nearly £140m, the team has only spent £15m so far, leading fans to feel anxious about the team’s strength this season.
Coach Daniel Farke is in need of four new signings, particularly a full-back, a midfielder, and two attacking players. With only nine days left until the transfer deadline, supporters are worried about the team’s lack of action in the transfer market.
The spotlight has now turned to 20-year-old Italian star Wilfried Gnonto, who has suddenly become a key player for Leeds following the departures of Summerville and Rutter. Despite not being a regular starter last season, Gnonto’s role is now crucial for the team’s attack.
However, reports suggest that Gnonto may be seeking a move away from Leeds, with his agent actively looking for opportunities before the deadline. The team has already lost important players due to release clauses being triggered, leaving fans concerned about further departures.
While frustration mounts over the lack of investment from ownership, it seems that Leeds may hold firm on Gnonto’s asking price if clubs come knocking. Despite past mistakes with release clauses, the team may have to rely on The 49ers to maintain their squad strength in the final days of the transfer window.
