Willy Gnonto of Leeds United is a target for Everton, and the manager Sean Dyche has given his assessment of the team’s present transfer situation.
Crysencio Summerville’s departure from the Whites is expected to be confirmed very soon, and there is concern that other transfers may occur.
Willy Gnonto, his attacking partner and close friend, is also being heavily linked to a move away. Leeds has until August 30 to put an end to the rumors.
Willy Gnonto from Leeds is a target for Everton this summer.
Back in July, Fabrizio Romano revealed that Sean Dyche’s Everton was considering rekindling their interest in Leeds winger Gnonto.
The Italian winger fought for a trade and refused to play when the Toffees attempted to remove him from Elland Road a year ago. The 49ers stood their ground and kept the player at the team.
The 20-year-old is reportedly eager to join Dyche’s team in the Premier League, but the club’s determination to hold onto Gnonto does not yet seem to have been put to the test.
Sean Dyche talks about the 24/25 Everton transfer plans.
Dyche is conscious of Everton’s low finances heading into August, which influences the team’s strategy of trying to add more signings to their already impressive summer investment.
The Toffees manager acknowledged, in an interview with the Liverpool Echo, that any additional acquisitions would be a “stretch” for his team to finance.
“We are making every effort with the funding at our disposal to build a team that we believe has the potential to grow, and the addition of some of these players is indicative of that.”
“Yet, even though the team is currently overextended, they will all be a part of that as they gel together. It is a squad we want to keep growing.” I don’t believe that [any additional signings] will occur given the financial resources we now possess—or lack thereof. However, we’ll just have to wait and see.
At this point, Everton’s funds don’t match Gnonto’s asking price.
They will need to pay the asking price that we will have established if they hope to sign Gnonto this summer.
Aside from that, we really cannot let him go—especially after already making a lot of money this summer from Archie Gray and Summerville.
If Gnonto insists on making a transfer, this might alter, but he’s probably learnt his lesson from the previous season.
