Jesse Marsch kept his cards close to his chest in the build-up to Wilfried Gnonto's (£1.7m) summer transfer to Leeds.Speaking to the media when asked.

And like Wilfired Zaha (£4.9m) and Jack Grealish (£3.8m), he draws a lot of fouls, winning frequent free-kicks for his team in advantageous positions. He scored his first goal for the Yorkshire club against West Ham at the start of the month and his double against Championship opposition in midweek was a fitting reward for his efforts since he became a first team regular. In both fixtures he was thoroughly deserving of the Star Man award.

Wilfried Gnonto looks Leeds' most exciting player since Harry Kewell (Telegraph.co.uk)

Young Italian striker, who arrived on a dramatic deadline day last September, could have a big say in Leeds' fight to avoid relegation.

“We knew about him for a while and like I said he was a little bit more of an idea to bring him in the future,” said Marsch. But his time has arrived now in Leeds, with his fearlessness and power now a key part of their season. It was one of the final deals on deadline day but arguably was the best value of the summer. Around Elland Road there is talk of a teenage talent not seen in the LS11 postcode since Harry Kewell emerged from the club’s Academy in the 1990s. “More than £4million,” was the reply, delivered with a smile. When he failed his medical, the player and Leeds were left with nothing.
