The Blues recently signed attacking players like Mykhaylo Midryk and Noni Madueke to improve their poor offensive record and it would signal the ambition of co-owner Todd Boehly, should he decide to splash the cash on Gnonto. 

Gnonto has four goals and three assists to his name at Leeds this season and he has the potential to develop into a quality Premier League attacker.
