Journalist claims West Ham are eyeing new Leeds star ahead of Lucas Paqueta deal.

A writer reports that West Ham is pursuing a new Leeds player ahead of a Lucas Paqueta trade, after the player and Wilfried Gnonto have been connected for a while.

Wilfried Gnonto, an Italian attacker for Leeds United, has been strongly linked to West Ham in recent transfer windows.

One of the best sources of Leeds news, a journalist, stated in January that the Hammers desired Gnonto.

That transaction never went through because West Ham, like the majority of teams in Europe, had financial concerns about PSR, which prevented them from investing much during the winter window.

The fact that West Ham will be selling Lucas Paqueta to Manchester City this summer is among the worst kept secrets in sport.
