Leeds United reportedly face a battle to keep hold of teenage star Wilfried Gnonto. TalkSPORT claim the Whites youngster is attracting interest from AC Milan, Juventus and Chelsea having impressed during his short tenure at Elland Road.
The Italian had to bide his time before at the Whites with his first start coming in October and has since been one of the standout performers. However, with uncertainty over Leeds' Premier League status, clubs across the continent have been keeping a close eye on the 19-year-old.
The report claims the trio of aforementioned clubs are looking to sign Gnonto in the summer, regardless of the Whites staying in the Premier League. Arsenal are another side to have been linked with a move for the young forward, who has two goals and three assists in the top flight this season in 17 appearances.

Gnonto's signing has proven to be a shrewd piece of business from Victor Orta and the Whites' hierarchy, signing from Swiss side FC Zurich for a fee believed to be in the region of £4m. The decision to fast track the move for Gnonto has been one of the best transfer gambles of the current ownership.
Leeds are set to make a huge profit on their investment last summer, if a move away from Elland Road does come to fruition. The youngster is admired by Italy boss Roberto Mancini, having made ten senior appearances to date, with one goal.
