Gnonto joined Leeds last summer and the 19-year-old winger attracted attention with his impressive performances for the Whites last season.
Everton are particularly keen on landing the Leeds star this summer and Gnonto also wants to leave Elland Road to join the Toffees in the ongoing window.
Tottenham have also emerged as another possible destination for Gnonto this summer.
