'No interest in selling' - Leeds United reportedly reject £15m bid from Everton for Wilfried Gnonto - Yorkshire Post 17/7/23
Leeds United have reportedly rejected a £15m bid from Everton for forward Wilfried Gnonto.

The 19-year-old is among the Leeds players to have been
linked with an exit this summer, although Mail Online have reported the Whites
have told Everton they have “no interest” in selling him.
The report claims Everton made a £15m bid for the talented
attacker which was “swiftly rejected”. Gnonto was a bright spark for Leeds last
season, impressing despite the club enduring a dismal campaign that ended in
relegation to the Championship.
He made 28 appearances in all competitions for the Whites,
scoring four goals and registering four assists. Although Leeds are said to be
taking a firm stance on Gnonto, they have already sanctioned numerous
departures this summer.
Marc Roca is the latest to have moved on, having joined La
Liga side Real Betis on a season-long loan deal. He has followed the likes of
Robin Koch and Diego Llorente in leaving West Yorkshire on a temporary basis.
