Leeds boss Marsch: Gnonto lots of fun to work with

Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch is delighted with the way Wilfried Gnonto continues to settle with the first team.

The young talent made his debut for the club in October, and is now established as a top prospect.

He also bagged his first goal in the Premier League recently against West Ham United.

“I think what you see is a combination of confidence and belief, that quality, that's usually, the young players that have big potential, what you'd like to see," Marsch said, per Leeds Live.

“He's been a lot of fun to work with.

“He takes on information really well, he has flexibility to the way we use them. He had certain moments (against West Ham United) where I thought he did really well, certain moments where he is understanding what that role is and he can continue to grow.

“But you see confidence in him right now, I think it's partly about a run of games that he's had and then adapting to the league and adapting to what we are asking of him.

“So that part's been good and if we can get Cree (Summerville) fully fit and sharp, we have him, Luis (Sinisterra) then we have Brenden (Aaronson) and Jack (Harrison) and then we start to build, and then obviously with our strikers, a real compliment of attacking players that can be a lot of fun to work with."
