Early life


Gnonto was born in Verbania, Italy in 2003 to Ivorian parents; he later grew up in Baveno, where he attended a liceo classico before switching to pursue secondary education at a liceo scientifico.[2][3]


Club career



FC Zürich


A youth product of Inter Milan since the age of nine, Gnonto joined Swiss club Zürich on 23 April 2020.[4] Gnonto made his professional debut with Zürich as a substitute in a 4–1 away Swiss Super League win over FC Vaduz on 24 October 2020, and assisted his team's final goal.[5] He scored his first professional goal on 21 May 2021, once again in 4–1 league home win over FC Vaduz, after replacing Antonio Marchesano in the second half.[6]

In his second season, he won the 2021–22 Swiss Super League title with the club, with four games remaining.[7]


Leeds United


On 2 September 2022, Gnonto joined Leeds United on a five-year deal for an undisclosed fee.[8] He then made his Premier League debut on October 29, in Leeds’ 2-1 win against Liverpool at Anfield, coming on as a 72nd-minute substitute for Jack Harrison and opening the action that led to the winning goal by Crysencio Summerville.[9] On November 5, he replaced Harrison one more time, in the second half of the league match against Bournemouth, eventually assisting Summerville for his second consecutive winning goal.[10]


International career


Born in Italy, Gnonto is of Ivorian descent.[11] He is a youth international for Italy,[11] having taken part with the Italy U17 in the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup.

In May 2022, after being called by Roberto Mancini to join a training camp for the Italy national team, Gnonto was included in the final 30-player Azzurri squad for the 2022 Finalissima.[12][13] On 4 June 2022, Gnonto made his senior debut for Italy in a UEFA Nations League game against Germany, coming on as a substitute and providing an assist in a 1–1 home draw.[14] On 14 June, in Italy's fourth group match, he scored his first international goal in a 5–2 away loss to Germany, to become the youngest goalscorer for Italy, aged 18 years and 222 days, breaking the previous record held by Bruno Nicolè since 1958.[15]
