Wilfried Gnonto breaks silence on Leeds future amid Arsenal and Chelsea transfer links

Leeds United winger Wilfried Gnonto is a target for Premier League giants Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City, according to Gazzetta Dello Sport.

The talented wideman has looked extremely impressive since arriving at Elland Road last summer, netting four goals and providing three assists for Leeds this term - statistics that read more impressive when you consider that he is still just 19 years old. His outstanding talent has already been recognised by the Italian National Team, already making nine appearances for Roberto Mancini's side, including Thursday night's 2-1 loss to England.

After the defeat to The Three Lions, Gnonto was asked about life in Leeds, remaining coy about his future despite the ongoing transfer rumours regarding a potential move to one of the so-called top six. "I made this type of choice," he told Tutto Mercato Web when asked about his move to the Premier League from Swiss side Zurich.

"I’m happy and I’ve shown that I’m a good player and I think I’ll do even better."

Gnonto isn't the only player currently plying his trade in the Premier League to be linked with a move to both Arsenal and Chelsea. West Ham United captain Declan Rice continues to be mooted as a target by both London clubs and football.london understands that the 24-year-old is the Gunners' primary target for the summer transfer window.

It's also understood that the Hammers captain remains a key target for the Blues as well, although Mikel Arteta's side may hold an advantage in the race to sign Rice considering they are all but qualified for next season's UEFA Champions League whilst Graham Potter and co sit tenth in the current league standings.
