All signs are pointing towards a January exit for Willy Gnonto.<\/strong><\/p>\n Gnonto is a player with immense ability<\/a>, and his record throughout his time at Leeds United showcases that.<\/p>\n However, for one reason or another, he has largely been a bit-part player under Daniel Farke for the last 12 months, even when he was in form.<\/p>\n Gnonto\u2019s most recent appearance for Leeds was in their 1-0 defeat to Fulham<\/a> in September, and if Farke\u2019s latest comments are anything to go by, it may be his last.<\/p>\n Ahead of Leeds United\u2019s clash with Aston Villa<\/a>, Farke provided a team news update and reiterated that Gnonto is unlikely to be involved.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cImportant we don\u2019t put too much weight on Gnonto after injury. Allow him to build confidence on the training pitch. <\/p>\n \u201cI cannot be driven by picking the players who were not involved in a team loss. Careful with him after his injuries.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s been over two months since Gnonto<\/a> picked up the injury, which was only expected to rule him out for a few weeks.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n However, with Farke still being overly cautious about the Italian and his favouritism with Brenden Aaronson, it\u2019s hard to see when Gnonto could actually return, if he does at all.<\/p>\n Saudi Arabia move could be on the cards for Willy Gnonto<\/p>\n MOT Leeds News<\/strong> revealed that Saudi Arabian clubs were preparing offers for Gnonto<\/a>, who is likely to jump at the chance to receive a significant pay rise.<\/p>\n Al-Ittihad and Neom areof the clubs with long-standing interest in the Italian, and his lack of gametime at Elland Road is only going to invite them to make an offer.<\/p>\n Given the fact that Farke has very rarely utilised Gnonto from the start<\/a> this season, he may be Leeds\u2019 sacrifice in January to raise funds to improve the squad.<\/p>\n A new striker is likely on the agenda, as the 49ers look to repair the damage they caused in the summer with the lack of attacking arrivals.<\/p>\n Enjoyed this article?<\/strong> Stay connected with all the latest Leeds United news, updates, and behind-the-scenes content by following us on our new Instagram account \u2013@motleedsnews<\/a><\/p>\n ![\"Daniel](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/imago1069025638-1024x683.jpg\")
