Premier League sides are keen on Leeds United's young Italian wideman
Aston Villa have reportedly opted not to follow up any interest in Leeds United star Willy Gnonto. The Italian has been the subject of much transfer speculation this week, with Everton and Newcastle United supposedly weighing up bids.
Villa are on the verge of selling French winger Moussa Diaby, with talk of a £60m move to Saudi side Al Ittihad. That would give Unai Emery a sizeable transfer budget to spend, with Gnonto thought to be availalble for around £20-25m. However, the arrival of Jaden Philogene from Hull City for £18m looks set to end Aston Villa's interest in Gnonto, with Everton now leading the chase. Reports suggest Sean Dyche's side have made contract with Leeds about the winger, although no deal has been agreed.
The Whites have rejected a £30m bid for Georginio Rutter, but the exits of Kamara and Gray have left Farke a little short for midfield options. There are only three and half weeks before the new Championship season gets under way when Portsmouth visit Elland Road, with Leeds kicking off their pre-season schedule against Harrogate Town on Friday night.
