Italian agent Claudio Vigorelli appears to have confirmed reports from earlier this season that Wilfried Gnonto has decided to leave his agency. Gnonto was thought to be considering a change of agency, following last summer's transfer fallout with Leeds United. In a bid to force a move to Premier League outfit Everton, the forward submitted a written transfer request and withdrew from the squad to face West Bromwich Albion in August.
” Confirmation of the decision will come as good news for Leeds, who were far from impressed with how Gnonto - only 19 at the time - was advised in the summer. Since returning to the set up, the Italian has knuckled down and become an integral part of Farke's promotion push. Starts were hard to come by in the first-half of the season but injury to Dan James opened a door for Gnonto and the young forward took his chance, bagging five goals in as many appearances through February.
