- Leeds United faces Fulham this weekend with uncertainty over who will play the number 10 role.
- Willy Gnonto, typically a left winger, is a possible option but awaits the coach’s decision.
- Gnonto has started every Premier League match this season and remains confident about Leeds’ chances.
- Leeds has yet to score from open play, and Gnonto acknowledges the need for attacking contributions.
- The team has struggled in London, winning just once in their last 14 visits.
As Leeds United heads to the capital this weekend, fans will be making stops at both Downing Street and Craven Cottage — but while the resident behind one famous door is well known, the identity of Leeds’ number 10 against Fulham remains uncertain.
After missing out on a targeted signing for the role, speculation has turned to forward Willy Gnonto. Though he’s started every Premier League match this season on the left wing, the 21-year-old remains open to stepping into the central playmaker role if called upon.
Gnonto has been one of Leeds’ most consistent performers, and his confidence heading into Saturday’s clash is unwavering. Despite United’s struggles in London — just one win in their last 14 visits — the Italy international believes the team is ready to compete and turn the tide.
With Leeds yet to score from open play this season, Gnonto knows the pressure is mounting. As one of the team’s attacking focal points, he’s aware that goals and assists will define his impact. Still, he remains optimistic, insisting the squad has the quality to break through.
Whether he lines up at number 10 or sticks to the wing, Gnonto’s versatility and mindset could be key to unlocking Fulham’s defense. And with Leeds still searching for rhythm in the final third, it may be time for the young forward to do more than just fill a role — it may be time to lead.
