Tottenham poised to table £28 million bid to sign Wilfried Gnonto

Everton might soon submit a bid worth £28 million to sign 20-year-old Italian international Wilfried Gnonto from Leeds United in the summer transfer window.

According to a report by Caught Offside, Wilfried Gnonto remains the subject of interest from Everton. The Toffees are keen on signing the Italian international in the summer transfer window and recently approached Leeds United for him. They will likely 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 endured a topsy-turvy ride since joining Leeds United from FC Zurich in September 2022. While the youngster has shown some promising signs in the last 22 months, he has not stamped his authority thus far in his spell with the West Yorkshire outfit.

The 20-year-old has turned out 72 times thus far for Leeds United while chipping in with 13 goals and seven assists. However, Gnonto wants to depart from Elland Road in the summer transfer window after the Whites failed to secure promotion to the Premier League.

Leeds United’s inability to return to the top flight might cost them dearly, with several players considering departing from Elland Road in the summer transfer window. The Italian international is one of them, with Everton among his prospective suitors, having held loose talks to secure his services.

Premier League return on the horizon?
Everton’s interest in Wilfried Gnonto is understandable. The Toffees have been scouring the market for multiple wide attackers heading into the summer transfer window. While Jack Harrison has rejoined Everton on loan from Leeds United, they remain in the market for another forward after Arnaut Danjuma’s disastrous spell at Goodison Park ended.

Gnonto has thus emerged as a viable target for Everton, with the Merseyside outfit holding a long-standing interest in the youngster. The latest update has revealed a new approach from Everton, with the Toffees mulling over a bid worth £28 million to sign the young attacker in the summer transfer window.

With the 20-year-old Italian international keen on leaving Leeds United, Everton will hope the bid worth £28 million does the trick. However, it is unclear if the Whites will demand more money or accept a proposal in the region of £28 million from the Merseyside club.
