On Tuesday afternoon, the journalist shared an exciting update about Leeds’ attacking talent on X.
Last summer, Wilfried Gnonto attempted to secure a transfer away from Elland Road after the club was relegated to the Championship. Although Everton showed interest in the 20-year-old, they were unsuccessful in their efforts, and Gnonto remained with Leeds. After apologizing to Daniel Farke and returning to training, Gnonto has made 21 appearances this season, and he and Leeds have reconciled.
According to Jacobs, Gnonto is on the verge of signing a new contract with Leeds, who had always intended to resist any offers for the player. Furthermore, despite new speculation, Gnonto has remained highly professional and focused.
Gnonto’s exceptional talent quickly won over Leeds fans during a dismal season last year. Although his desire to leave caused some friction, he is now committed to helping the team regain their Premier League status.
It’s fantastic news that Gnonto is close to signing a new deal. With his bright future ahead of him, he will undoubtedly play a crucial role in Leeds’ success this season and beyond.
In the event that Leeds fail to secure promotion on their first attempt, having a new contract in place will provide greater protection for one of the club’s key assets and strengthen their bargaining position. Currently positioned fourth in the Championship with 54 points from 28 games, Leeds will face Norwich City at Elland Road for their next match on Wednesday.
