Everton reportedly made a £15 million approach for Leeds United forward Wilfried Gnonto.
The 19-year-old is one of the Leeds players linked with a move this summer, though the Mail Online reports that the Whites have assured Everton that they have “no interest” in selling him.
According to the source, Everton made a £15 million approach for the gifted attacker, which was “quickly rejected.” Gnonto was a bright spot for Leeds last season, despite the club’s terrible campaign, which resulted in relegation to the Championship.
He appeared in 28 games with the Whites in all competitions, scoring four goals and providing four assists. Leeds are thought to be taking a tough stand on Gnonto, but they have already approved a number of exits this summer.
Marc Roca is the most recent departure, having joined Real Betis on a season-long loan. He has joined the ranks of Robin Koch and Diego Llorente in temporarily departing West Yorkshire.
