Transfer notebook: Everton bid for Gnonto; Leicester chase Amad loan
Everton's attempts to reinforce Sean Dyche's forward options have been blunted by Leeds United turning down an offer for Wilfried Gnonto.
The 19-year-old joined Leeds on a five-year deal last September for an undisclosed fee but scored just twice in 24 appearances as a combination of Jesse Marsch, Javi Gracia and Sam Allardyce failed to preserve the club's Premier League status.
Gnonto has been generating plenty of interest from Serie A, though it's a bid from Everton, believed to be worth around £15m, that has been turned down.
A move is not out of the question for Gnonto, who may push to leave Elland Road with a place in Roberto Mancini's Italy squad for Euro 2024 potentially at stake.
Leicester City, who joined Leeds in the Championship after a disastrous relegation from the Premier League, are keen to boost their promotion hopes with the loan signings of Amad Diallo and Cesare Casadei.
21-year-old Amad spent last season on loan at Sunderland, scoring 13 goals in 37 Championship appearances to fire the Black Cats into the mix for promotion.
Amad and Sunderland ultimately came up short, but his form in red and white has attracted the attention of new Leicester boss Enzo Maresca. He's looking for additional ammunition at King Power Stadium after losing James Maddison to Tottenham, while Harvey Barnes is also expected to return to the Premier League.
As for Casedei, he's gone on Chelsea's pre-season tour after spending the second half of the 2022/23 season on loan at Reading, but is expected to depart for more experience. The 20-year-old is a defensive-minded midfielder who arrived at Stamford Bridge from Inter on a six-year contract.
