West Ham are said to be just days away from opening talks for Leeds United reject.
Wilfried Gnonto was one of the big talents in the Premier League last season. The youngster managed 6 goal involvements in his breakthrough campaign and big things were expected of him.

Much to his dismay, a move never materialised and he has found himself only starting a handful of games in the Championship.
