Leeds United have enjoyed a fine return to the Premier League this season, and attention has already turned to strengthening the squad for next season in the top-flight.
The Whites claimed their first win over Man Utd at Old Trafford in 45 years on Monday, moving them six points clear of the relegation zone with six games remaining, while Daniel Farke has also guided the team to an FA Cup semi-final clash against Chelsea at Wembley later this month.
That has come after a difficult start to the season, where Farke was forced to change his system to help defensively, and that has now left a number of players questioning their role in the squad going forward.
Leeds Open to Selling Wilfried Gnonto

One such player is winger Wilfried Gnonto, who has been relegated to a bit-part player in recent months under Farke, with the new system not including traditional wingers in it.
The Italian, who has previously been described as 'unplayable', has started just four Premier League games this season, and is understood to be attracting big interest from several Serie A clubs, including the likes of Juventus and former club Inter Milan.
The 22-year-old is under contract until 2028 at Elland Road, and there is no rush to sell, but while Farke is happy to have his dynamic quality available to him, he would also be ready to sacrifice him to raise funds and reinvest back into the squad.
According to Sports Boom, Fiorentina are also showing an interest in Gnonto and are prepared to table a 'lucrative' package to the player's representatives, with talks planned over a potential deal.
Gnonto is ready to leave in order to play more regularly, and an exit now seems to be on the cards if a deal that suits all parties can be found. In fact, the report states that Gnonto may even push for a move, with Leeds needing to convince him to stay beyond the summer if they want to keep him.
Gnonto Move Makes Sense for All

When Gnonto first broke onto the scene at Elland Road, he looked exciting and ready to be one of the next big things in the division. But relegation to the Championship, followed by a lack of regular game time under Farke, has seen his development stall.
He now doesn't deserve that starting spot, and with Farke finding success with a system that doesn't suit him, it makes sense for everyone involved to get a deal done for him to move on.
Leeds can then spend that cash to bring in players that fit the system better and help them to progress up the table, while Gnonto can go and play regularly to fulfill his potential.
