West Ham United surely have an advantage over Everton in the race to sign Wilfried Gnonto from Leeds United this summer.

According to Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla, Everton want to sign West Ham target Wilfried Gnonto from Leeds in the summer transfer window.

With David Moyes desperate to add some pace to his front-line, the Leeds ace would be perfect for the job.

However, Everton entering the race might be viewed as somewhat problematic for the Hammers.

I believe that West Ham shouldn’t even be worrying about the Toffees though…

With Everton chasing the Leeds forward’s signature, surely the Hammers will be a better option for him.

We were recently crowned Europa Conference League champions and have a Europa League campaign to look forward to this season.

Moyes really should be going all out to bring the Italian youngster to the club this summer.

He is absolutely rapid – something that we are currently desperately short of across our front-line, and he’d offer us a completely different threat inside the final third.

Wilfried Gnonto bagged four goals and four assists in 28 games for Leeds during his debut campaign in England (Transfermarkt) – a very impressive return for someone so young.

The teenager has been described as ‘electric’ by TEAMtalk, and he’s exactly the kind of player Moyes should be signing.

I believe that West Ham should be able to brush aside Everton in the race to sign Wilfried Gnonto.

We’re a far more attractive club to join at the moment and with Europa League football on offer at the London Stadium, the decision for the Leeds star should be an easy one.
