Wilfried Gnonto was asked whether he would be staying at Leeds United forever by a young fan, a question which plenty at Elland Road would love to know the answer to, as he confessed he is enjoying himself at the club.
Attending a charity event for Leeds Children’s Charity at Lineham Farm, Gnonto was joined by Crysencio Summerville as they paid a Christmas visit to young fans.
One youngster simply couldn’t help but quiz the Italian with rumours continuing to circle around his future, and Gnonto’s answer was reassuring to the adoring young fan.
As reported by Leeds Live [18 December], Gnonto was asked: “Willy, will you stay at Leeds forever?” To which the forward responded: “I don’t know if they want me. I’m enjoying myself.”
A great event for a great cause

The event at Lineham Farm helps to raise the profile of the charity, but also directly impacts the children attending the event, as they are able to see some of their Leeds United heroes up close and personal, get some pictures, and spend time with them.
It’s an amazing opportunity for the young children in Leeds to meet their heroes and ask questions, with the youngsters able to give back to the community and provide some inspiration both through their words and their presence at the event.
So, while Gnonto’s response will have reassured and warmed the heart of one young fan, both he and Summerville provided memories they will never forget to the group of children at Lineham Farm.
