Willy Gnonto ‘asks to be LEFT OUT of Leeds squad as he seeks transfer exit’ with two Premier League clubs interested

LEEDS star Wilfried Gnonto asked not to play as he looks to force his way out of the club, according to reports.

The Whites beat Shrewsbury 2-1 at Elland Road in the opening round of the Carabao Cup.

Gnonto was not in the squad after requesting that he did not want to be considered for selection.

He did play in their league opener against Cardiff last Sunday.

The Daily Mail claim the 19-year-old is keen to leave the Championship side following their relegation from the Premier League.

However, Leeds are determined not to sell the attacker as they look to bounce straight back to the top-flight.

He has four years remaining on his contract.

Gnonto is supposedly growing frustrated as he wants to hold talks with potential suitors.

Leeds have already had interest from the likes of Everton, Burnley, Freiburg and Inter Milan.

The Toffees reportedly saw a £15million bid for him turned down last month.

Gnonto also wants to leave to play at the highest level to convince Italy boss Roberto Mancini to select him for the Euros at the end of the season.

Leeds have already lost eight players this summer, five of which have been loans.
