West Ham great Paolo di Canio is delighted seeing Willy Gnonto shine for Leeds United.

Di Canio has congratulated Gnonto on his blistering start to life in the Premier League, and also alluded to the teenager's 'beautiful' goal against Cardiff City.

The former Italian forward told Sky Italia: "Hi Willy, first of all, I want to congratulate you because you have fitted in very quickly into the most beautiful, most coveted, most spectacular, most difficult championship in the world. Well done!

“But when you score like this, I'm getting a lot of phone calls, like I'm your grandfather, asking 'have you seen it?' I saw it, it's beautiful and very similar [to mine].

“A very difficult goal. Beautiful, beautiful. Don't do it better now or they'll bombard me with phone calls and I can't answer them all. Anyway, well done and God Save the Premier League. Good luck and God Bless."
