This article includes exclusive comments from former Leeds United goalkeeper Paul Robinson.<\/p>\n
Willy Gnonto could be handed a new role at Leeds United this season.<\/p>\n
Daniel Farke will be pleased with the progress his Leeds United<\/a> side have made so far this summer, though the German will be well aware of the need for more.<\/p>\n It will be crucial that the Whites bolster their attacking options ahead of their return to the Premier League, but the latest update served as a blow to those requirements.<\/p>\n With that said, it could serve as a positive for Gnonto<\/a>, who had a mixed season under Farke in the Championship.<\/p>\n It was reported on Monday (28 July) that Igor Paixao is set to move to Marseille<\/a>, with Leeds missing out on their primary left-wing target.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n However, Paul Robinson thinks that Gnonto could be set to battle with Largie Ramazani<\/a> for that place in the team next season.<\/p>\n Speaking exclusively to MOT Leeds News, Robinson said: \u201cDan James is a shoo-in down the right-hand side. Didn\u2019t miss many games last year. But the Premier League\u2019s different.<\/p>\n \u201cWith the rigours of the Premier League, he is going to have to chop and change. But I think with Ramazani and Gnonto, the two of them can fight it out for that berth on the left-hand side. <\/p>\n Competition (2024\/25)Appearances (starts)GoalsAssistsChampionship43 (26)96Gnonto\u2019s Championship record last season.<\/p>\n \u201cBut they are going to have to bring more players in. Obviously, with Bamford and Mateo Joseph going, the need for a striker was there before those two players announced that they were going to be leaving.<\/p>\n \u201cSo the need now is to bring in cover, as well as an out-and-out striker, that they were looking at anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n While attacking reinforcements are needed at Elland Road<\/a>, Leeds simply need to start utilising Gnonto more often.<\/p>\n The Italian was often a substitute for the Whites last season, despite being one of the most talented players in the league.<\/p>\n His versatility could be crucial for Leeds as they prepare for life back in the top flight.<\/p>\n![\"Leeds](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/daniel-farke-leeds-united-1024x576.jpg\")
