Wilfried Gnonto

Key strength: Pace and dribbling

Inverted Winger / Dribbler

Sitting 15th in the table and desperate for attacking spark, Leeds United have a €22m weapon waiting in the wings. Wilfried Gnonto, the 22-year-old Italian speedster who arrived from Zurich in September 2022, has made just two brief appearances this season, totaling only 90 minutes with 0 goals and 0 assists to his name. Yet the statistics barely scratch the surface of his potential. With blistering pace and elite dribbling ability, Gnonto profiles as the perfect inverted right winger for Daniel Farke's system—cutting inside to wreak havoc on defenses. His five-and-a-half-year contract running until 2028 signals long-term faith, and that market valuation reflects his ceiling rather than his current output. For a Leeds side seeking to climb the table and rediscover their offensive identity, the question becomes: when does the Italian flyer get his chance? With fellow full-backs like Gudmundsson and Bogle providing width, Gnonto could be the injection of directness and creativity this team craves.
