Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City in Wilfried Gnonto transfer battle with Leeds star available for a bargain
WILFRIED GNONTO is at the centre of a transfer battle as Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City eye the Leeds star, reports say.
The Italian has enjoyed an impressive debut season at Elland Road and produced a few jaw-dropping moments.
Despite his form, Leeds find themselves in one of the Premier League’s most competitive relegation battles ever.
And whether or not they escape the bottom three could impact on Gnonto’s future at the club.
Relegation may mean the club could have to sell the 19-year-old winger at a bargain price and there are no end of Premier League clubs interested in him.
Gazzetta dello Sport report that City, Arsenal and Chelsea are interested in the Italian, who could come up against England in the Euro qualifier tonight.
Leeds bought Gnonto for a reported fee of just £4m from FC Zurich last summer and they could now make a tidy profit for him if they do opt to sell.
Gnonto has two goals and three assists in the league this season, including a very early goal at Old Trafford that left Manchester United stunned.
The youngster has made early strikes a specialty of his and he managed to also catch Cardiff cold with a belter in the FA Cup back in January.
Leeds will need Gnonto at his best when the Premier League enters its final stretch next month.
