‘Wants to’ - Wilfried Gnonto’s agent makes claim amid Everton and West Ham transfer links

The agent of Wilfried Gnonto has admitted that the Leeds United winger ‘wants to continue’ playing in the Premier League.

The 19-year-old moved to Elland Road from Zurich last summer. He enjoyed a decent maiden season in England and recorded four goals and four assists in 28 appearances - although it wasn’t enough to stop the Whites from being relegated.

Gnonto has been linked with a return to the top flight, with Everton - who are eyeing attacking options in the summer transfer window - one club who are reported admirers. Crystal Palace and West Ham have also been linked.

Gnonto is a full Italy international but is currently representing his country at the European under-21 Championships in Romania and Georgia.

And speaking to Calciomercato (via Sport Witness) Gnonto’s agent Claudio Vigorelli has spoken about his client’s future.

He said: “I say that we are focused on the national team and the European Championship. Then we have to talk to Leeds and we’ll see, but I think there will be options.

“The Premier League experience has been fantastic for him and I think he wants to continue in that direction. But right now, the focus is on the national team.”
