Wilfried Gnonto, Crysencio Summerville, Charlie Cresswell and Illan Meslier are now all back at Leeds United for pre-season training.

That is according to Leeds Live, who report the quartet were the final group of players to return to Thorp Arch but have indeed made their comebacks this week.

As per the report, Summerville and Meslier have impressed in their first few days back in training after meeting new boss Daniel Farke for the first time.

All four of these players have been linked with moves away this summer, though Gnonto has been earmarked as someone they would particularly like to keep.

According to the Daily Mirror, Gnonto’s valuation stands at the £30 million mark as he still has four years left to run on his contract with no relegation release clayse.

All four were granted an extended period of holiday after representing their respective nations at the U21s EUROs in Georgia earlier this month.

Cresswell was part of the England squad that lifted the trophy in what will be a huge boost to his confidence ahead of a potentially breakthrough season at Leeds.

Despite having reportedly trained well, there is more uncertainty surrounding the futures of Summerville and Meslier this summer.

With Leeds desperate to keep Gnonto, Jack Harrison and Luis Sinisterra, Summerville is someone they could be open to taking an offer for.

Meslier, meanwhile, is expected to depart after a disappointing season at Elland Road, with Leeds in the market for a new goalkeeper.
