Leeds United transfer rumours with Gnonto stance on exit and McKennie's Premier League aim

Here are your latest Leeds United transfer rumours.

Gnonto stance

Wilfried Gnonto enjoyed an impressive debut season in the Premier League despite the Whites' struggles and eventual relegation. The summer signing netted four goals and registered four assists, and is now one of a number of first-team stars linked with a potential exit.

Gnonto still has four years to run on his contract at Elland Road, which means United are well placed to resist any cut-price attempts to lure the Italy international away. Now, Italian outlet Calciomercato report the 19-year-old is considering 'changing destination' as a result of relegation, but the forward is keen to remain in England.

Aston Villa and Everton have both been credited with an interest in the teenager, along with Bundesliga outfit Freiburg.

McKennie's aim

It is fair to say Weston McKennie's loan switch in January failed to deliver for both the club and the player himself. The USA international struggled to deliver, and faced criticism for his displays in the closing stages of the campaign.

McKennie has returned to Juventus, and the Serie A giants are said to be keen to offload the central midfielder. Galatasary are among the Turkish clubs supposedly keen on landing the 24-year-old, who made 20 appearances for Leeds.

However, McKennie is keen to return to England despite this testing Premier League experience, according to Tuttomercatoweb.
