Leeds United have reached an agreement to sign Facundo Buonanotte on loan from Brighton, after rejecting the club for Chelsea in the summer.
The Whites’ January window is in need of an injection of attacking investment in order for Daniel Farke to keep us in the Premier League.
An eight-point gap to the bottom three is impressive, and gives us the chance to really kick on with some shrewd recruitment.
Facundo Buonanotte agrees stunning Leeds United move after Brighton snub in summer
Cast your minds back to August when Leeds scrambled for a late addition. The club thought they were signing Facundo Buonanotte on loan from Brighton, only for the Argentine to opt for Chelsea.
Unsurprisingly, it turned out to be a completely baffling move from the youngster. It seemed so at the time, and proved to be as he instantly became a bit-part option under Enzo Maresca and now Liam Rosenior.
Buonanotte was omitted from the Chelsea squad that was thumped by Leeds back in December.
Now, Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Leeds have agreed to sign the attacking midfielder on loan from Brighton.
The deal would see his Chelsea loan cut short in order for United to pursue an agreement for the player who ironically turned us down in the summer.
Buonanotte would be likely to take Jack Harrison’s place in Leeds’ 25-man squad. The winger is due to move to Fiorentina imminently as the clubs finalise a loan agreement with an option to buy.
