It was difficult to predict how Willy Gnonto would do following his off-field antics at Leeds United in the summer of last year. However, after a span of six months, the Italian winger is currently experiencing exceptional play.
Gnonto requested to leave Leeds following a breakout debut year in which he contributed to eight goals. In matches against West Brom, Shrewsbury, and Birmingham, he declined to play.
In the end, Gnonto stayed, with Leeds continuing to vehemently oppose a sale and defy his requests. or his agents, nonetheless. Since then, he has had a new attorney. Still, there wasn’t much game time.
Maybe take a cue from Daniel Farke, but Cree Summerville and Dan James’s form also prevented the pocket-sized attacker from making an impact. However, Gnonto has regained his spot in the starting lineup since the start of the year.
After missing several games due to injury, James is now healthy enough to play for his former team, Swansea. During his pre-match press conference, Farke was questioned about Gnonto on the team’s official YouTube channel.
“It is really hard to be in the spotlight when you have to be flawless at this age. But they need to mature. This was done by Willy. The good times come from the bad ones. He is more at ease, self-assured, and delighted in this role. He has been quite interested lately; his name is being sung by all. I’m so happy for him.

It’s wonderful to see Gnonto reaffirm his commitment to the Leeds cause. However, people at Leeds must never forget what he accomplished or what he can do going forward. If he doesn’t get promoted, he’ll want to go.
Gnonto has been dropped by Italy’s senior team, or at least he was during the last international break, so he is now doubtful for Euro 2024. He is aware that in order to earn a spot, he must perform at the highest level.
The secret to that is Premier League, or Serie A, football. If we don’t get promoted, Gnonto will want to go, but Leeds will be counting on him to give it his all in order to succeed with Leeds this season.
