Gnonto's future and Leeds' squad depth

[BBC] We asked you to send in your questions for BBC Radio Leeds' Adam Pope to answer. In the first of a three-part Q&A, he addresses Wilfried Gnonto's future under Daniel Farke and squad depth. Stuart asked : What's happening with Gnonto? Is he still in Farke's plans? Adam : It's hard to see where Gnonto fits into Farke's set-up any more, especially with him going back to Italy to play for Fiorentina on loan. He had started to make an impact off the bench during pre-season, but in terms of the starting pecking order, Gnonto seems way down the list. First, Harry Wilson is the star attacking signing, then Brenden Aaronson has regularly played ahead of him and, more recently, Dan James is being adapted to a wing-back role. When you also consider Noah Okafor occupies the left side too, with Jean-Matteo Bahoya now on board as well, that's a lot of players to climb over. Also, if Gnonto plays regularly in Serie A, then he has a chance of reclaiming his place with Italy under Roberto Mancini, who gave Gnonto his senior international debut four years ago. [Getty Images] Luke asked : Does the club feel comfortable with squad options if Dominic Calvert-Lewin or James Trafford get long-term injuries? Adam : When we spoke to managing director Robbie Evans recently, he was clear about the policy surrounding Calvert-Lewin. "There was no desire at all this summer to find a striker who was going to compete with or take over for Dominic's spot," he said. "It was never going to be a number-one striker this summer for us. I know there was talk about adding a striker back in January, and that's a different topic. But as of this summer, it would have been a supporting role only." Evans added that Leeds are "two deep at striker depth with the guys we have" - Calvert-Lewin and Lukas Nmecha. He also mentioned how hard it is to find a supporting striker, especially when the team is designed around a focal number nine. Come back to this page on Friday for parts two and three of the Q&A, which will look at subjects including Leeds' breakthrough players, Farke's use of academy products and the German's contract situation.
