The Whites suffered relegation last term and a host of players are keen on leaving the Elland Road outfit as a result.

American midfielder Adams is also looking to move on this summer despite the club wanting to keep him.

Chelsea activated his £20m relegation release clause, however, they backed down from the deal due to disagreements over the terms despite the player completing a medical with the Blues.

It has been suggested that top flight side Bournemouth also triggered his release clause in recent days.

However, Adams still trained at Thorp Arch today, despite being tipped to leave the Championship outfit before the transfer window slams shut

He got injured at the end of the last campaign and now appears to be doing his rehabilitation training.

He played 26 times for the Elland Road outfit last season and is not expected to be part of their bid for a quick return to the top flight.

David Prutton delivers ‘scandalous’ verdict on wantaway Leeds United ace Willy Gnonto

Wantaway Leeds United winger Wilfried Gnonto has acted in a “scandalous” manner, according to Sky Sports pundit David Prutton.

Gnonto has been linked with a move away from Elland Road throughout the summer following the Whites’ relegation from the Premier League to the Championship.

As reported by The Daily Mail (15 August), the 19-year-old Italy international is now training alone after refusing to play during the club’s Carabao Cup tie against Shrewsbury Town and then suggesting he still wasn’t “in the right frame of mind” to travel to Birmingham City on Saturday 12 August.

Many supporters will be left frustrated at the player’s antics and Prutton, writing in The Yorkshire Evening Post (16 August), understands those supporters’ frustrations.

“It’s scandalous that Gnonto refused to play. I understand how selfish footballers have to be and need to be to be successful. But you can’t do that. I’ve heard good things about him as a person and a teammate but this blows that out of the water,” Prutton wrote.

“It looks terrible, it is terrible and doesn’t reflect well on the player or his representation. He’s very firmly burnt his bridges I think.”

Goodbye

It is quite difficult to see any way back for Gnonto in West Yorkshire at this moment in time, and he will now have his fingers crossed more than ever that he can get himself a move back to the Premier League.

Leeds’ supporters are by far some of the most passionate and vocal in the land and the chances of them accepting the winger back at Elland Road after the way he has behaved are relatively low.

If a move doesn’t get sealed soon, then he could end up finding himself on the bench for the majority of the season. After believing that he is worthy of a club in England’s top flight, to then spend the season on the bench in the country’s second tier, would be rather humbling.

For the fee they could generate, and the relationship between the player and the club now, it makes sense for all involved to get him off the books.
