Sean Dyche’s Everton are reportedly determined to sign Wilfried Gnonto from Leeds United in the summer transfer window.

According to The Daily Mail, Everton are keen on signing Wilfried Gnonto despite landing Jack Harrison from Leeds United.

Everton have signed winger Harrison from Leeds on a season-long loan deal.

And now the Toffees are looking to bring Gnonto from the Championship club.

The Daily Mail has reported that Everton had a bid of £15 million for Gnonto turned down by Leeds in July.

The West Yorkshire club are adamant that they do not want to sell the Italy international winger.

However, Everton remain keen on Gnonto and want to seal a deal for the 19-year-old Italy international, who was described by Andrea

Radrizzani as “exceptional” in TuttoMercatoWeb in March.

Everton do not need Wilfried Gnonto, they need a striker

In our view, Everton do not need to sign Wilfried Gnonto from Leeds United in the summer transfer window.

The Toffees have just signed Jack Harrison.

Yes, it is a loan deal only, but at least, it addresses this season.

We do not think that the Merseyside club need to sign another wide player now.

Arnaut Danjuma, Harrison, Dwight McNeil, Demarai Gray and Neal Maupay are the main wide options for Everton manager Sean Dyche at the moment.

Dyche has played Maupay as a striker, but he is not ‘natural’ at it.

Dominic Calvert-Lewis has had injury issues, and Dyche really cannot rely on him to deliver the goods week in and week out.

Yes, Everton have signed Youssef Chermiti, but he is only 19.

We cannot expect the Portuguese teenage striker to come and make an immediate impact at Goodison.

While Gnonto can play as a forward, he is not a ‘natural striker’, and that is what Everton need right now.

Gnonto has made 24 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.

The Italian teenager has scored two goals and given four assists in those matches.
