Being ditched by Bamba Dieng turned out to be a huge blessing for Leeds after they moved for Wilfried Gnonto instead. Gary Neville loves him and so does JohnnyTheNic...

In September last year he signed a five-year deal with Leeds in return for just £3.8million with the Swiss side negotiating a 15% sell on. The fee was so low because Wilf was in the last year of his contract. Zurich had wanted £17million but relented as the end of the transfer window loomed into view. Given he is sooner than later going to become an extremely expensive player, that 15% will generate a chunky sum of money.
Although Wiki says he’s 5’8” he looks shorter when up against the typical Premier League six-footer. He’s got a low centre of gravity and seems to be able to wriggle out of the tightest marking. What makes him so exciting is how he operates at speed with the ball. Everything is done with energy and when you can keep the ball stuck to your foot the way Willy can, then you’re bound to be an exciting player that any football fan will love. He’s certainly lit up Leeds’ faltering season.
