Everton Poised to Submit £28 Million Bid for 20-Year-Old Italian International
Everton Expected to Submit £28 Million Bid for 20-Year-Old Italian International Wilfried Gnonto from Leeds United in Summer Transfer Window
According to a report by Caught Offside, Wilfried Gnonto continues to attract interest from Everton.
The Toffees are eager to sign the Italian international during the summer transfer window and have recently approached Leeds United regarding his availability. They are expected to offer around £28 million to secure the youngster’s services in the coming weeks.
Wilfried Gnonto and His Leeds United Journey So Far
Wilfried Gnonto has experienced a mixed journey since joining Leeds United from FC Zurich in September 2022. While he has shown promising signs over the last 22 months, he has not yet fully established himself at the West Yorkshire club.
The 20-year-old has made 72 appearances for Leeds United, contributing 13 goals and seven assists. However, Gnonto wishes to leave Elland Road in the summer transfer window following Leeds’ failure to secure promotion to the Premier League.
Leeds United’s inability to return to the top flight might prove costly, with several players considering departures. Gnonto is among those looking to move, and Everton is one of his potential suitors, having held initial talks to secure his services.
Premier League Return on the Horizon?
Everton’s interest in Wilfried Gnonto is understandable. The Toffees have been actively seeking multiple wide attackers in the summer transfer window.
Although Jack Harrison has rejoined Everton on loan from Leeds United, they are still in the market for another forward following Arnaut Danjuma’s disappointing spell at Goodison Park.
Gnonto has emerged as a viable target for Everton, with the Merseyside club maintaining a long-standing interest in the youngster.
The latest update reveals a new approach from Everton, with the Toffees contemplating a £28 million bid to sign the young attacker.
With the 20-year-old Italian international keen to leave Leeds United, Everton will hope their £28 million bid will be sufficient.
However, it remains unclear whether Leeds will demand more money or accept a proposal in the region of £28 million from the Merseyside club.
