Wilfried Gnonto's return to first-team training at Leeds United would be the first step on a long road to redemption for the 19-year-old
Today, we spell redemption, G-N-O-N-T-O. I may be misquoting Wes Mantooth, but Leeds United would be happy to see a resolution befitting Anchorman’s finale once this reintegration attempt concludes.
At the very least, he must have given Farke reason to believe he will be willing to play at Ipswich Town on Saturday. The only way the German allows Gnonto back in is if it’s with a view to helping the team in matches.Working hard in training and earning matchday selection would be a start in winning Farke over, but would he go as far as committing to stay? That seems a leap within four days of his representation submitting a formal transfer request.
An unwilling seller plus little meaningful interest has to be a sum Vigorelli can answer. Going on strike was possibly the worst thing Gnonto could have been advised to do. It set a precedent Leeds, especially this new ownership, was always going to be reluctant to follow. Whether Vigorelli has backed Gnonto on this return to training or not, the agent’s reputation in Leeds, if he even cares about that, has taken a battering through this episode. Gnonto’s ongoing relationship with Vigorelli will play a significant part in the reparation of his standing at Elland Road.
