Everton target Wilfried Gnonto returns to Leeds first-team training after handing in a transfer request and refusing to play

Everton target Wilfried Gnonto has returned to first-team training with Leeds United.

Winger Gnonto, 19, had made clear his desire to leave the side relegated from the Premier League to the Championship last season.

He submitted a transfer request on Friday August 18, before their league game against West Bromwich Albion, which finished 1-1, having earlier withdrawn from the squad to face Birmingham.

But after manager Daniel Farke had ostracised Gnonto to training by himself, he has now decided to re-integrate the Italian and he could return to the matchday squad against current second-tier leaders Ipswich Town on Saturday.
