Leeds whiz Gnonto grateful being able to lean on Summerville

Leeds United star Wilfried Gnonto has spoken about his happiness at the club.

The teenager has broken into Jesse Marsch's first team this season, getting valuable game time in the Premier League.

Gnonto cannot stop smiling, even when he is interviewed by the media, as he is so pleased at his meteoric rise in the game.

“Yes, I am like this (happy)," he said, per Leeds Live.

“I try to work hard, but enjoy myself and have fun with my team-mates.

“This is who I am and I don't think I have to change it."

“He's a good guy," added Gnonto on fellow Leeds youngster Crysencio Summerville.

“Like me, we just try to have fun on the pitch, we are quite the same as players.

“He's faster than me maybe, but we just try to bring something to the team, to help the team, score goals, assist, this is what we do."

He finished on Summerville, who is two years older than him: “I didn't do anything.

“Maybe with me, he found someone like him, we are quite the same, we just try to work hard on the pitch and off the pitch.

“We just try to enjoy ourselves and be together."
