Everton FC is making a strong push to sign Leeds United’s Wilfried Gnonto, according to two sources. The Toffees have been interested in the 20-year-old winger since last summer and made an attempt to sign him in the winter market, but were unsuccessful. However, they are not giving up and are continuing to put pressure on Leeds to get a deal done.
Italian journalist Rudy Galetti, who first reported Everton’s interest in Gnonto, has stated that “nothing has changed since January” in the Toffees’ plan for the player. Everton manager Sean Dyche is a big fan of Gnonto and believes he would be a great addition to the team. The club has continued to hold talks with Gnonto’s camp and are hoping to make a new attempt to sign him this summer.
Galetti claims that developments are expected soon in this case, and Everton is confident that they can secure a deal. The Toffees have already made contact with Gnonto’s entourage to understand if a deal can be negotiated. While Leeds United may be reluctant to let Gnonto go, Everton is hoping that their persistence will pay off.
Gnonto had an impressive season with Leeds last year, scoring nine goals and providing three assists in 44 games. His performances have caught the attention of several Premier League clubs, and Everton is not the only team interested in signing him. However, the Toffees are hoping that their strong interest and persistence will give them an edge in the transfer market.
Sport Mediaset, another source, has also confirmed Everton’s interest in Gnonto and stated that they have made contact with his entourage. They add that Gnonto will “soon become a Premier League player again,” although it is unclear if Leeds United is willing to let him leave.
Everton’s interest in Gnonto is a clear indication of their ambition to strengthen their squad and compete with the top teams in the Premier League. With their persistence and strong interest, they may be able to secure a deal for the talented winger. Only time will tell if they are successful in their pursuit
