Aidy White has said that Leeds United head coach Daniel Farke could soon have a problem with Daniel James and Wilfried Gnonto.

The former Leeds player thinks that Farke could be spoilt for choices when James is back to full fitness.

So, what has Aidy White said about Leeds United duo Daniel James and Wilfried Gnonto? Let’s take a look.

Aidy White comments on Leeds United duo Daniel James and Wilfried Gnonto

Well, Leeds United got the better of Rotherham United 3-0 at Elland Road in the Championship on Saturday afternoon

Patrick Bamford opened the scoring for Leeds in the 10th minute. Crysencio Summerville found the back of the net twice in the second half, the second one being a penalty. Connor Roberts made his debut for the Whites.

Wilfried Gnonto started the match. Leeds head coach Daniel Farke deployed the Italy international winger on the right of a three-man attacking midfield in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Gnonto played well, and former Leeds player and BBC Radio Leeds pundit Aidy White was impressed.

White has noted that Farke will have a nice problem when Daniel James is back in action.

James picked up an injury against Norwich City in January, and he could be back in action soon.

White said on BBC Radio Leeds: “It looks like he (Gnonto) has found his form again. It’s nice because Dan James was in such good form that you are hoping is he going to come into form when Dan James is out, and he stepped into his shoes terrifically. 

“And, if Dan James comes back again, then it’s a nice problem to have, two players who have been terrific this season.”

My View: Important to have options for Daniel Faroe

In my opinion, the competition between Daniel James and Wilfried Gnonto is healthy and important for Leeds United in the final weeks and months of the season.

Leeds head coach Daniel Farke needs options. He needs to have players fighting for their place in the team.

Both James and Gnonto are very good wingers and will have a big role to play for the Whites in their quest to win automatic promotion to the Premier League.

James has scored 10 goals and given six assists in 23 Championship starts for Leeds this season, while Gnonto has scored two goals and provided one assist in nine starts and 14 substitute appearances in the league this campaign.
