Gnonto set for first Serie A experience as Fiorentina agree deal with Leeds
Fiorentina and Leeds United have agreed terms for the transfer of Wilfried Gnonto, the Italian international winger. Gnonto, who came through the academy at FC Zürich before moving to Leeds in 2022, will get his first taste of senior football in Italy's top flight. The 20-year-old struggled for consistent minutes in the Championship last season and the move represents a return to Italy where he previously represented the national youth teams. Fiorentina are looking to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new Serie A campaign.

Still only 20 and with prior Italian youth pedigree, the winger has raw attributes — pace, directness, and an eye for goal — that could flourish in a league where the tactical profile demands different skills than the English game. For Leeds, recouping a fee for a player outside of Patrick Bamford's first-choice plans eases their PSR constraints, while for Fiorentina this is a low-risk addition with meaningful upside if Gnonto adapts quickly to Serie A's tactical demands.
