# Leeds: Whites to make new Wilfried Gnonto offer

**[Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) will reportedly make a new offer for FC Zurich forward Wilfried Gnonto in the coming days.**

### The Lowdown: Gnonto rumours

Sky Sports journalist [Gianluca Di Marzio](https://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/leeds-united-interested-in-zurich-s-gnonto-the-latest) was one of the first to break the rumours regarding Gnonto, claiming at the weekend that Leeds were looking to wrap up a deal by August 25.

Rumours have gathered pace since, with [reports](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/leeds-whites-close-to-wilfried-gnonto-agreement/) suggesting that an agreement on personal terms with the player is ‘essentially there’.

Gnonto is into the final 12 months of his Zurich [contract](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/wilfried-gnonto/profil/spieler/627626) and has been on Leeds’ radar for a long time, according to transfer expert [Fabrizio Romano](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1559070635137110017).

### The Latest: Transfer update

[Sports Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/leeds-taking-particular-interest-in-signing-whites-to-try-new-assault-by-raising-offer-soon/) relayed an update from Italian outlet [Gazzetta dello Sport](https://www.gazzetta.it/Calciomercato/17-08-2022/gnonto-zurigo-calciomercato-sassuolo-monza-torino-4401876280501.shtml), who previously reported on the personal terms agreement being close, regarding Leeds and Gnonto.

They claimed that the Whites will make a ‘new assault’ for the youngster in the coming days after the club’s opening proposal failed to meet Zurich’s demands.

### The Verdict: Fingers crossed

It appears as if Gnonto is a firm target between now and the September 1 deadline, so hopefully, the club can strike an agreement with Zurich relatively soon.

Already a [full Italy international](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/wilfried-gnonto/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/627626), Gnonto has been hailed as a player who ‘can do everything’ by [Roberto Mancini](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/wilfried-gnonto-profiled-striker-who-24757558), can play [anywhere](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/wilfried-gnonto/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/627626) in attack and is valued at £9m by [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/wilfried-gnonto/profil/spieler/627626).

Leeds appear in desperate need of a new forward and Gnonto could be the perfect third option at the club alongside Patrick Bamford and Joe Gelhardt, and they could still be getting a bargain even if they have to pay the mooted [€10m](https://sportwitness.co.uk/leeds-taking-particular-interest-in-signing-whites-to-try-new-assault-by-raising-offer-soon/).
