**LEEDS UPDATE: “I’m Not Leaving” — Wilfried Gnonto Commits Future to Leeds United**
Leeds United forward Wilfried Gnonto has shut down speculation surrounding his future by publicly reaffirming his commitment to the club. In a statement released just five minutes ago, Gnonto declared, *“I’m not leaving,”* putting an end to weeks of transfer rumors linking him with a move away from Elland Road.
The 20-year-old Italian international had reportedly been the subject of serious interest from Premier League side Everton, who tabled a four-year contract offer in an attempt to lure him to Goodison Park. However, Gnonto turned down the offer, making it clear that his ambitions lie with Leeds United, where he sees both personal and team growth.
“I want to be a leader here. Leeds gave me the platform, and I believe in the project,” Gnonto said. “My heart is here, and I want to fight to bring this club back to where it belongs.”
Gnonto has now officially renewed his contract with Leeds United, extending his stay at Elland Road and sending a powerful message to fans and teammates alike. His decision is seen as a major boost to manager Daniel Farke’s plans as Leeds aim to bounce back to the Premier League.
Club insiders suggest Gnonto’s new deal includes improved terms and a leadership role within the dressing room — a sign of the club’s faith in the young star. His loyalty has been praised widely by supporters, many of whom had feared losing one of the club’s brightest talents after last season’s relegation.
With promotion ambitions alive and well, Gnonto’s commitment could be a turning point in Leeds United’s campaign, both on and off the pitch.
