After discovering professional football in Switzerland then continuing his adventure in England, Wilfried Gnonto finally returned to Italy. The 22-year-old striker has officially signed with Fiorentina, who announce his arrival from Leeds United in the form of a loan with an option to buy. A new step for the Italian international, who will thus have his first experience in Serie A after leaving his native country at a very young age to continue his progress at FC Zurich.
Born in Verbania and trained at Inter Milan, Gnonto joined Switzerland in 2020 before appearing in the colors of FC Zurich. His performances opened the doors to the Italian selection, with which he now has 13 appearances and one goal, scored when he became the youngest scorer in the history of the Nazionale. In 2023, he then took charge of England and Leeds United. With the English club, he played 65 matches in all competitions, scoring six goals and eight assists. Now, he is back home, with the ambition to relaunch his career and win in the purple jersey.
