The Whites are keen to keep Gnonto at Elland Road after what has been an impressive breakout season in English football’s top flight. Gnonto has found the net at Old Trafford, scored a superb scissor-kick in the FA Cup and remains one of the few players whose name on the teamsheet most fans would not dispute.

Representative for Gnonto’s agency, Claudio Vigorelli, has discussed the possibility of an extension at Elland Road, should Leeds secure Premier League survival at the end of the season.

Speaking to Spanish sources, via Calciomercatoweb, Vigorelli said: "The club is delighted with his performances. After survival, we will probably meet with the club to talk about a possible extension, but there will be no problems.

"He is very happy there and I think he will stay there. His path is there.”

Leeds parted company with director of football Victor Orta and head coach Javi Gracia this week, before installing veteran of the dugout Sam Allardyce for the Whites’ four remaining fixtures this season.

Allardyce begins his tenure away to Manchester City, which could see Gnonto start back-to-back Premier League games for the first time since mid-February. The Italian fell out of favour with Gracia, who reintroduced the 19-year-old to his starting line-up last weekend, in which he produced the cross for Patrick Bamford first-half header.

"It's a nice story to tell, we all have always believed in Willy's qualities,” Vigorelli says. “Maybe in Italy [they believed in him] a little less, because of the lack of confidence in certain young players.”

Gnonto has scored four times and registered four assists in 24 appearances for the Whites since his deadline day move from Swiss champions FC Zurich last summer.
