Everton are preparing a fresh bid as they look to acquire the services of Leeds United sensation Wilfried Gnonto.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Everton are keen on having Wilfried Gnonto in their ranks before the end of the transfer window. The Toffees have been interested in his services for a while now and are preparing a fresh bid for his services.
Everton have been pushing for the services of Wilfried Gnonto throughout the transfer window. They have already submitted multiple bids under £20 million. But all their efforts have gone in vain so far. Leeds United have rejected all proposals for the 19-year-old sensation.
Leeds had a disappointing 2022/23 season in the Premier League and ended up getting relegated to the second division. The drop has resulted in significant financial loss, and they have been forced to offload some of their stars.
While the Whites are in need of funds, they are not ready to part ways with Gnonto. The Championship club are keen on having him in their ranks as they look to return to the Premier League. Their plans are quite clear, and they are not looking to negotiate his departure.

Meanwhile, the 19-year-old Italian international has other ideas. He does not want to play in the Championship and wants to part ways with the club just a year after joining them from FC Zürich. Gnonto is keen on featuring in the top flight and has already submitted a transfer request.
The Italian international is not training with the first team as he and his representatives push for a move away from the club. Meanwhile, Everton have not given up in their pursuit of the teenage sensation. The Merseyside club are looking to bolster their attack and believe Gnonto could do wonders for them. He is versatile in nature and will get better with experience.
Despite having multiple bids rejected by Leeds, Everton are preparing yet another offer for the 19-year-old. They are eager to have him in their ranks. And with the player pushing for a move away from the club, there is a real possibility of him joining the Toffees before the end of the transfer window.
