Leeds United could receive a bid for Wilfried Gnonto following Everton’s £50m sale of Amadou Onana, as per the Yorkshire Evening Post.
They have been in the middle of a hectic summer which has already seen several first team players depart Elland Road and more could yet follow.
Gnonto, 20, played 39 Championship games for the club last season. He managed eight goals and three assists throughout. He joined the club whilst they were in the Premier League and immediatewly looked like an exciting talent.
However, he has been constantly linked with a move away for about a year now, and Everton have had long-standing interest.
They have been unable to lodge a bid for the 13-cap Italian international, however they have just sold Onana to Aston Villa for around £50m and it is being reported that money may see them launch an official approach for Gnonto.
The 20-year-old always seemed likely to leave Leeds United from the minute they were relegated over a year ago, it surprised many that he remained at the club last season.
According to Sky Sports, Crystal Palace are now in talks with Marseille over a potential deal for Sarr, who could return to England just 12 months after departing Watford.
After signing Manchester United outcast Mason Greenwood on a permanent deal, Marseille have left the door open for Sarr’s departure this summer.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Marseille have rejected Palace’s initial proposal for the Senegalese winger, who joined the Ligue 1 outfit for a fee of around £15m last summer. Speaking on Sarr, his former team-mate Will Hughes described him as ‘frightening’…
MailOnline has previously reported of Marseille’s willingness to cash in on Sarr to boost their pursuit of Arsenal forward Eddie Nketiah, who could replace last season’s leading scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The Ligue 1 outfit are set to continue their Premier League raid in the summer transfer market, after confirming deals for Greenwood and Tottenham’s Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who joined on a season-long loan with an obligation to buy.
Leeds are demanding a fee in the region of £25m while Sean Dyche’s side have set their evaluation at £20m but an agreement could soon be reached.
Sky Sports and talkSPORT journalist Bardell has suggested that the fee involved is too high and remains unsure about Gnonto.
