Milan, Aug. 31 (LaPresse) – Fiorentina are set to make a double signing from the Premier League. According to UK broadcaster Sky Sports, Fiorentina are increasingly confident of signing Wilfried Gnonto, but Leeds must find a replacement before allowing him to leave. The Italian club have proposed a loan deal with an option to buy for the 22-year-old. Everton have opened talks with Monaco over the signing of Folarin Balogun. Initial contacts between the clubs have been made and negotiations are ongoing, with Beto moving increasingly closer to Fiorentina. According to English media reports, Leeds United have given Wilfried Gnonto permission to undergo a medical with Fiorentina, but will not authorize his departure without signing a replacement. The 22-year-old is expected to arrive in Italy during the day ahead of a potential loan move with an option to buy. However, sources within Leeds insist that the deal has not yet been finalized. Gnonto has been allowed to travel to Italy well in advance so that he can complete his move to Fiorentina before the transfer window closes, should Leeds sign a replacement.
