Parma and Genoa are interested in Leeds striker Wilfried Gnonto

Leeds United striker Wilfried Gnonto has been linked with a move away from the club.

The 20-year-old Italian has impressed since his move to the Championship club and is on the radar of Genoa and Parma, according to Milan Live.

Both Italian clubs are looking to strengthen their attacking squad and Gnonto would be a long-term asset for them.

However, Leeds are not keen to lose such a prodigious young talent as him, as his departure would be a huge blow to the Championship giants.

Leeds will be desperate to secure promotion to the Premier League this season. They cannot afford to weaken their squad. They will need to retain their best players to perform well this season and finish in the automatic promotion places.

Meanwhile, the possibility of moving to Italy could be tempting for Gnonto. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.

Leeds came close to promotion last season and they don’t want to miss out this time around. Missing out on promotion last season resulted in the loss of a number of key players to other clubs.

Furthermore, Leeds are one of the biggest clubs in the country and are expected to play regularly in the top division.

It will be interesting to see if they can hold on to the attacker for the time being.
