Leeds United winger Willy Gnonto has opened up about the emotional challenge of seeing his close friends and teammates, Crysencio Summerville and Georginio Rutter, depart for the Premier League. Summerville and Rutter were key figures at Leeds before their release clauses were triggered, leading to their exits for a combined £65 million during the summer transfer window.
In an interview with **BBC Radio Leeds**, Gnonto admitted that it was difficult for him, as he had formed a close bond with the two players. Despite the departures, he emphasized that he remains friends with everyone at the club and enjoys the positive environment within the squad.
Gnonto also addressed his evolving relationship with Leeds fans, especially after his contract saga last year when he initially pushed for a move away. He has since signed a new contract, committing his future to the club until 2028, and he highlighted the improved connection he now shares with the fans due to his efforts on the pitch .
