Aston Villa receive Leeds United transfer response as Jacob Ramsey point made

Latest Aston Villa news from BirminghamLive brings you responses from fans after reported interest in Gnonto emerges

Supporters have had their say on Leeds United forward Wilfried Gnonto amid reported transfer interest from Aston Villa.


The 19-year-old is expected to depart Elland Road this summer after the side's relegation to the Championship. Despite playing just 28 games last season, Gnonto showed a glimpse of his talent.


His agent Claudio Vigorelli revealed he has several options on the table this summer. Villa, meanwhile, are said to have made an approach for the €25million (£21m) rated player, but Everton are thought to be leading the race.


With the news that Jacob Ramsey has been ruled out of the Under-21 European Championship due to injury, some fans have suggested Gnonto could be a useful addition if Ramsey is sidelined for any significant length of time.

Here's what the Villa faithful have said on social media...

Mac78: "Only 19 and he still managed to create problems and an assist, be a great addition imo."

Charlie Simo: "Yes please this guy is raw talent."


Lee Robbins: "From what I seen of him, he looks like a real prospect."

Tiswas: "Good player, depending on the price could be an excellent signing. If he can play European football at Villa and challenge for Europe again next year, why go to Everton?"

Frank007: "The way the lad played at Villa Park was spectacular! Even Gary Neville saying one of the best performances from a youngster he’s seen. Honestly for me worth signing and making him a squad player. He had lots of ability and due to lack of wide players I think Emery would be a fantastic influence on him and we could see a future star here."


Garin: "Deffo take him or Barnes to fill in for JJ if he's out for a while."

EB10: "Get him to temporarily fill in for JJ."

Jay: "I’d definitely take him. Bags of potential and would be great under Emery."


Liam: "Hasn't impressed me in any game I've seen tbh."

JAVFC: "Bring me Gnonto."

OptiMystic Mings: "Personally, I’d love to see him play for Villa."


VillainIdaho: "Take in a heartbeat."

DanielUTV: "I really like him, very tricky player who’s quite robust for his size."

Bosnich's Dealer: "All for this. Very very good player."


Brian de la Villa: "Bags of potential, would be great at the Villa."

Stephen Jury: "Yes please! He looked amazing against us down the left against Young."

James: "Massive signing if we got this."


Jamie Old: "Good signing, played in the pl, young and has bags full of potential."

Jay: "Probably agent talk, but yes."

Archie Mundegar: "Great player with bright future."
