The young attacker wants to transfer to Elland Road, according to the reports, because Jesse Marsch has expressed interest in signing him. The 18-year-old seems keen on heading to Yorkshire despite the Cherries' plans to overtake Leeds in the race, having already reached a personal agreement with the Whites. Marsch has publicly stated that he wants to sign the Italy international, which is unusual for managers to do with possible newcomers.
“We know him. We think very highly of him; he’s a young talented player. We’re very active in pursuing things, and we have some strategies. We still have time. There will be movement,” added Marsh. Gnonto would not want to join a sinking ship and run the chance of playing Championship football next season because Bournemouth is very certain to be relegated.
