Gnonto: 'I needed Fiorentina after not positive season with Leeds United'
Wilfried Gnonto has explained his decision to join Fiorentina, framing the transfer as a necessary reset following a difficult and unproductive season at Leeds United. The Italian forward, who had been a key figure during Leeds' Premier League campaign, found opportunities limited as the club were relegated.
