Dr Rajpal Brar said that attacker Wilfried Gnonto of Leeds United should have no trouble passing his Everton physical.
The injury expert asserts that the Italy international is not at an obvious risk of experiencing problems with his medical, even with his limited playing time and ankle setback earlier in the season.
This comes after Goal revealed on May 28 that the Toffees might try to recruit the 20-year-old to Goodison Park in addition to Jack Harrison.
Brar, a sports scientist and physical therapy specialist, exclusively spoke to Goodison News about Gnonto.
“Gnonto had issues with his ankle and did not play regularly in the 2023/24 season so that’s something Everton will know before signing him.
“I highly doubt it will cause any issues with the medical it as medicals are typically looking for outlier issues or ones that may create medium and long-term risk that wasn’t anticipated.
“The moderate ankle issue nor the irregular game time wouldn’t seem to create that.“
Everton may consider signing Wilfried Gnonto at the right price
Gnonto is a talented young winger with the potential to develop into a top Premier League player and he’s already showcased his skills in the top flight.
His pace and versatility would add a new dimension to Everton’s attack.
The Toffees need to strengthen their squad after narrowly avoiding relegation last season and Gnonto would be a valuable addition to their forward line.
The Italy international has previously stated his wish to quit Leeds United, and if they don’t get promoted, he may finally be able to do so.
In other Everton news, a £26 million deal is planned by a European team that is eager to relieve their striker of their payroll.
