Since the beginning of the current season, things have not gone well at Chelsea Football Club. The London-based club is having a disappointing Premier League campaign, and they are out of every competition from which they could win silverware. However, Chelsea can’t be stuck in this phase. They have to move on and build for next season.

The good news for Chelsea fans is that the Blues seem committed to bringing a change to the club. While the team is expected to cut some players and trim their squad, CFC fans can also expect the club to make quality signings who will be able to contribute to the project Chelsea is building for next season.

One such quality player the club is looking to sign during the summer transfer window is Leeds United star Wilfried Gnonto. Since making his Premier League debut this season, Gnonto has attracted interest from many clubs in the league. If Leeds face relegation this season, the Italian is expected to leave Elland Road.

While there is rumored interest from other clubs in Gnonto, Chelsea scouts have been observing the winger for quite some time now. Based on his game till now, the scouts believe that Gnonto has what it takes to be a Premier League star in the near future, and hence, Chelsea has reportedly registered their interest in signing the player.

Considering his age, Gnonto can be a vital part of the project Chelsea has in mind. At 19, the club and its fans can expect the Italian to contribute many fruitful seasons to CFC. After all, in the games he has played for Leeds United this season, Gnonto has shown a lot of potential and promise.

Leeds United acquired the services of Wilfried Gnonto for £ 4 million, which based on his performances now, seems to be an absolute bargain. In 23 appearances for the club, the 19-year-old has scored four goals while dishing out three assists. While Leeds United has not been impressive this season, Gnonto as a player has stood out.

In the games he has played for Leeds, Gnonto has emerged to be a player with great dribbling. Another important factor of his game is the long shots the Italian can take. He can be a real threat to any team from outside the box. Based on what is seen till now, Gnonto has a bright future in football. If Chelsea is able to secure his services, Blues fans can expect a lot from the player.
