JUST NOW:Farkes finally secure dream Gnonto replacement in Leeds swoop for £6m
Leeds United are currently competing to secure an instant return to the Premier League after they were relegated at the end of the 2022/23 campaign.
The Whites spent three years at the top table of English football after former head coach Marcelo Bielsa won promotion from the Championship in 2020, in his second year at the club.
German tactician Daniel Farke is now looking to follow in the Argentine chief’s footsteps by getting out of the second division this season with the Yorkshire-based side.
The 47-year-old boss won two Championship titles during his time with Norwich City and his side are currently third and eight points off top spot with 30 matches left to play.
He could look to the upcoming January transfer window to bolster his squad in order to improve their chances of winning promotion in the second half of the campaign.
With this in mind, one way in which the Whites could upgrade their roster could be to cash in on Wilfried Gnonto in order to free up the funds to sign Ilias Chair.
Firstly, the current Leeds forward has been touted with a move away from Elland Road at the start of 2024 after he failed to secure an exit over the summer.
Gnonto reportedly agreed a deal with Premier League side Everton ahead of the 2023/24 campaign, only for his club to pull the plug on any potential move.
TEAMtalk reported, last month, that the Toffees remain interested in a swoop for the Italy international, whilst Roma and Lazio – from his home country – are also in the running to land his signature.
