Leeds are closing in on loan swoop for Brighton star as Daniel Farke seeks to add attacking firepower

Leeds United are closing on a loan deal for Brighton attacking midfielder Facundo Buonanotte.

The 20-year-old spent last season on loan at Leicester City, scoring six goals in 35 games.

Earlier this month, Daily Mail Sport revealed that Brighton were prepared to allow Buonanotte to leave on loan again this summer.

The Rosario-born playmaker came through the academy at Rosario Central, where he made his professional debut as a 17-year-old and quickly earned a reputation as one of Argentina’s brightest prospects.

Brighton moved swiftly to secure his signature in late 2022, with the deal completed in January 2023 for around £5million.
