West Ham United are reportedly keen on signing 20-year-old Italian international Wilfried Gnonto from Leeds United.
Wilfried Gnonto is highly rated around Europe, and he has a bright future ahead of him. West Ham United want to bring him back to the Premier League as per Give Me Sport. But it remains to be seen whether Leeds are prepared to sanction his departure.
West Ham Want Wilfried Gnonto
Gnonto has impressed in English football since joining Leeds United, and he could prove to be a quality long-term addition to the West Ham attack. The Hammers need to add more cutting edge in the final third, and the 20-year-old will add pace, flair and goals to the side.
The Italian international is likely to improve further with coaching and experience. He could develop into a key player for the hammers with the right guidance. Meanwhile, a move to West Ham would be a major step up in the youngster’s career, and he would get to compete in the Premier League regularly.
West Ham managed to win the Europa Conference League last season, and they will be hoping to go all the way in the UEFA Europa League this year. They have done quite well in the Premier League this season and are sixth in the league table. They will look push for European qualification and they will be an attractive destination for most players.
It remains to be seen whether Leeds United are ready to weaken their attack and let the player leave. They will be desperate for Premier League promotion and need to hold on to their best players to return to the top flight.
West Ham are hoping to sign the 20-year-old Italian international this month and they are keeping tabs on other wingers like Jack Clarke and Steven Bergwijn. The Hammers have been overly dependent on Jarrod Bowen for creativity and goals. The English winger needs more help in the attack, and the arrival of a quality young winger would certainly benefit the side.
West Ham must look to make the most of their impressive first half of the season and improve the squad accordingly in January so that they can win trophies this year as well and secure European qualification for the next season.
