Leeds United thank Hull City chiefs for Christopher Loftus and Kevin Speight messages of support

Tan Kesler and Acun Ilicali’s messages of solidarity, which urged their followers to remember Christopher Loftus and Kevin Speight, have been acknowledged by Angus Kinnear.

Prior to tonight’s game at the MKM Stadium, Leeds United moved to officially express their appreciation to the Hull City leadership for their expressions of support about the untimely deaths of Christopher Loftus and Kevin Speight.

The two Leeds supporters were killed in Istanbul 23 years ago, and the Whites have applauded Hull City’s Tan Kesler and Acun Ilicali for taking the initiative to remind their own supporters to honor Chris and Kev.

“We would like to thank Acun and Tan for their messages in recent days, it’s great to see that Chris and Kev are in the minds of custodians of clubs across the country,” Angus Kinnear said in a statement on the Leeds United website

The Leeds United forward Wilfried Gnonto discusses his short-term objectives while reflecting on his Italian “dream.”
The Leeds United forward had a difficult summer after drawing interest from other teams, refusing to play, and then eventually being reintegrated into the Whites’ lineup.

Leeds United forward Wilfried Gnonto insists he focused on improving and growing as a player ‘every day’ as he discussed his next career goals after a turbulent summer. The teenager was the subject of near-constant transfer speculation this summer, with Everton heavily linked with the forward.

Despite Gnonto sitting out three games in order to force a move away from Elland Road, no move would materialise and he has since be reinstated in the Leeds line-up. The Italian has started Leeds’ last three games, netting in the win against Ipswich Town and looks to be an integral part of the club’s promotion push.

Despite playing in the English second tier and keeping his spot in the Italy squad during the most recent international break, Gnonto spoke about realizing his dream of playing for his country and what his future goals are in an interview with Italian publication Sportmediaset.
