Leeds United unveil Italy international Gnonto

Teenage Italy international Willy Gnonto has officially signed for Leeds United in a deal worth €4.5m plus bonuses and a percentage of the sell-on fee, but will their fans copy the FC Zurich song about him?

He is the latest Azzurri player to move to the Premier League after Gianluca Scamacca, Jorginho, Emerson Palmieri and more.

Gnonto is only 18 years old and will be 19 in November, but already has four senior caps for Italy, finding the net against Germany in the Nations League.

Short and quick, but tough to push off the ball, he can play in a variety of attacking roles including on either wing, as a support striker or a False 9.

He was a product of the Inter youth academy, but left as a free agent in 2020 because he was still too young to be locked down to a contract under Italian rules.

Gnonto scored 12 goals and provided 10 assists in 74 games for FC Zurich before the transfer was completed with minutes to spare on deadline day.

A work permit was granted and he has signed a contract to June 2027. He will wear the Number 29 jersey.

The player earned himself a whole song from the FC Zurich fans as they marched on to the Swiss Super League title, but Leeds supporters might want to get some new lyrics.
