Praise for Leeds United winger Wilfried Gnonto vs Sheffield Wednesday
Smith said about Gnonto in the 88th minute: “He has looked good, he looks lively every time he gets the ball, he wants to beat his man, he created opportunities, he has a couple of opportunities himself.”
Wilfried Gnonto is one of the best young players in the Championship and is a big player for Leeds United.
The 19-year-old Italy international winger is an explosive player, and he did show that against Wednesday.
The winger was a problem for the Wednesday defenders whenever he had the ball at his feet.
During his time on the pitch at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon, Gnonto took three shots, played four key passes, had a pass accuracy of 82.9%, took 74 touches, attempted six dribbles, made two tackles and two clearances, and put in five crosses.
