Hoffenheim have opened talks to sign Italy and FC Zürich attacker Wilfried Gnonto, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.

Gnonto has been linked with a number of other clubs, including SC Freiburg, but Hoffenheim could have an advantage after recently appointing André Breitenreiter, who worked with the 18-year-old in Zürich last season, as their new coach.

Gnonto set up his side's only goal as he made his senior international debut for Italy in a 1-1 draw against Germany earlier this month.

Playing against Germany against last night, Gnonto scored his first goal for Italy, but could do little to prevent a 5-2 defeat against Germany.
