Everton and Leeds United have reportedly reached an advanced stage in negotiations for a deal involving Wilfried Gnonto, who has been on Everton’s radar since the summer. The proposed agreement includes a combination of cash plus a player, although the exact terms are still being finalized.
Leeds had initially resisted selling Gnonto, but the 20-year-old Italian winger had expressed interest in a Premier League return, increasing the likelihood of a transfer. After limited playing time last season, Gnonto’s value has been set around £22-25 million, a figure that could offer Leeds financial flexibility for their Championship campaign. Everton, under manager Sean Dyche, views Gnonto as a valuable addition for bolstering their attack after a challenging start to their season.
If finalized, this deal would allow Leeds to balance their roster and finances while Everton gains a young, dynamic forward to enhance their squad depth and creativity upfront.
