Brighton winger Facundo Buonanotte is in talks to join Leeds United on loan.
According to Argentinian journalist Victor Bilsky, Leeds are closing in on the signing of Buonanotte, with fellow journalist Bruno González Garciá saying that a move should happen in ‘the coming days’.
Leeds have been linked with attackers alongside being linked with Buonanotte, with the likes of Cameron Archer and Josh Sargent being linked with the Whites in recent times.
However this shouldn’t put off Leeds from going for Buonanotte, having already lost Jack Harrison this window and potentially losing Wilfried Gnonto and Luis Sinisterra too.
Would Leeds be a good loan move for Facundo Buonanotte?
Buonanotte joined Brighton in January from his hometown club Rosario Central, for a fee that could rise to £10 million. He made his debut at the age of 17 in the Argentine Primera Division, where he rose to prominence.
He is an Argentinian international, and is primarily a right winger but can also play in central attacking midfield and on the left wing too.
He featured 13 times for the Seagulls last season, scoring once away at Nottingham Forest, whilst also claiming one assist in their 0-4 home win against West Ham United.
Should this move go through, it will be a massive learning curve for the 18-year-old. The Championship is a league that demands a lot physically, so how well he would do would come down to how quickly he can adapt.
Leeds have been needing a creative midfielder who can operate in the way manager Daniel Farke would like, so this would be a good move for the Whites.
Whilst the move would be a good one for Leeds, it may force Brighton to dip into the market with Buonanotte being a useful backup player.
However, Brighton do have plenty of options on the wings with the likes of Kaoru Mitoma, Simon Adingra and Solly March.
Brighton have recently been linked with signing fellow South American Fabricio Diaz.
