Winger Wilfried Gnonto wore the captain's armband for Italy's Under-21s yesterday
After losing the creative talents of Crysencio Summerville and Georginio Rutter in the summer transfer window, there were big concerns over the impact that would have on Leeds United's attack. Summerville and Rutter terrorised Championship defences last season, contributing 50 goal involvements between them as the Whites made it through to the play-off final.Step forward Wilfried Gnonto .
Ireland captain Andrew Moran netted after the break to earn the visitors a share of the spoils. The result ensured Italy finished top of Group A after six wins and four draws as they secured their place in next year's European Championships in Slovakia. As per TMW, Spalletti said: “There are guys who can be part of our group, several good ones here. Baldanzi is the most ready, Gnonto has already been there, we work in close proximity. They tell us everything.”
