Leeds United are preparing to accept offers for Wilfried Gnonto during the January transfer window if an acceptable offer arrives.<\/strong><\/p>\n That is according to former Man United and Sunderland chief scout Mick Brown<\/a>, who remains very well-connected within the game, as he exclusively told Football Insider<\/strong> that the 22-year-old is not expected to be part of Daniel Farke<\/a>\u2018s long-term plans.<\/p>\n Gnonto suffered an injury earlier this season<\/a> and was expected to make a swift return, but has failed to work his way back into Farke\u2019s starting XI.<\/p>\n The winger returned for the last 10 minutes during Leeds\u2019 2-1 defeat against Aston Villa<\/a> but that has done little to ease doubts about his place in the manager\u2019s long-term vision.<\/p>\n There has been long-term interest in Gnonto since Leeds\u2019 last spell in the Premier League, and should it resurface in January, there could be significant movement.<\/p>\n Brown told Football Insider<\/strong> in January 2025 that Leeds were open to letting Gnonto leave<\/a> for the right price amid interest from multiple Premier League clubs.<\/p>\n The former scout, who has a wealth of experience in top-level player recruitment after over a decade at Man United during their most successful period, has now insisted that could be the case again when the mid-season window opens.<\/p>\n MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES<\/p>\n \u201cI think Leeds are ready to move him on, yes,\u201d he told Football Insider.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cIf they get a decent offer for him in January or at some stage it will be something they look at, because he seems to be out of favour now under Daniel Farke.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve always thought of him as a 15-minute player, he comes in and gives you a little burst of what he can do, but then you don\u2019t see him for the next 20 minutes.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s got real pace, but he doesn\u2019t show it enough, and he\u2019s never quite shown enough to make him undroppable at Leeds despite a lot of praise for him.<\/p>\n \u201cGnonto is a talented player, no doubt, but he\u2019s a bit like a few of the players at Leeds where they\u2019re not quite good enough or consistent enough at this level.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd now from what I\u2019ve seen, it looks like the manager is starting to feel the same.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s not been part of the starting XI, and it seems he\u2019s not going to be part of his plans for the future either, so it would make sense, if there was interest, for them to move him on.\u201d<\/p>\n Daniel Farke facing sack pressure at Leeds<\/p>\n Despite Gnonto seemingly falling out of favour under Farke, there is growing pressure on the manager\u2019s position, and he could soon be playing under a different boss.<\/p>\n Brown told\u00a0Football Insider<\/strong>\u00a0on 10 November that\u00a0Farke could soon be sacked by Leeds<\/a>, with fans calling for his head after a string of disappointing displays.<\/p>\n The Peacocks have now dropped into the relegation zone after losing five of their last six games, while teams around them continue to pick up points.<\/p>\n Mewanwhile, Football Insider<\/strong>\u00a0revealed on 16 November that\u00a0Farke is fighting for his job at Leeds<\/a>, but he could be sacked before Christmas if their downturn in form continues.<\/p>\n Upcoming fixtures against\u00a0Man City<\/a>,\u00a0Chelsea<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Liverpool<\/a>\u00a0before the end of December have created a worrying situation at Elland Road regarding the boss\u2019 future.<\/p>\n For more Leeds United and exclusive news, follow us on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0or join our brand new\u00a0WhatsApp Channel<\/a>\u00a0for instant updates to be sent straight to your
