Leeds United News can provide the latest information regarding the Whites\u2019 interest in Brighton playmaker Facundo Buonanotte.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leeds United<\/a> need a few more players to finish their summer transfer window signings, despite the 49ers bringing in nine new additions already so far.<\/p>\n

Daniel Farke wants a hybrid playmaker who can play as a No.10 or winger<\/a> and we have suggested Facundo Buonanotte of Brighton as an option for Leeds<\/a> before.<\/p>\n

Farke said: \u201cWingers with a kind of X-factor, some very quick wingers who are also good in one against one. Perhaps, a bit [lacking] is this No.10 type of winger. <\/p>\n

\u201cWho could interpret the No.10 role slightly different to what we\u2019ve done in pre-season once we\u2019ve played with Ao Tanaka or Sean Longstaff. Perhaps this No.10 type of winger would be a good solution for our squad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emi Buendia and Buonanotte have been mentioned<\/a> and both players fit the bill in terms of Farke\u2019s demands, having featured regularly as wide creative players or as out-and-out No.10s more centrally in their careers.<\/p>\n

Leeds had Buonanotte interest over a year ago<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Argentine playmaker headed to Leicester\u00a0<\/a>where he perhaps did not feature as much as he would have liked during their relegation.<\/p>\n

In recent weeks,\u00a0Buonanotte has emerged as a more serious target<\/a>\u00a0again. Carlos\u00a0Tevez is reminded of Messi with Buonanotte.<\/a>\u00a0The 20-year-old has played the vast majority of his minutes as either a right winger or central attacking midfielder.<\/p>\n\nTeam<\/td>\nAppearances<\/td>\nGoals<\/td>\nAssists<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nRosario Central<\/td>\n34<\/td>\n4<\/td>\n2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nBrighton and Hove Albion<\/td>\n50<\/td>\n5<\/td>\n2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nLeicester City<\/td>\n35<\/td>\n6<\/td>\n3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nArgentina<\/td>\n2<\/td>\n0<\/td>\n0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

MORE LEEDS UNITED STORIES<\/p>\n

Per Transfermarkt<\/a>, at least 81 games have come in those roles. In recent days, Leeds United News<\/strong> has learnt that he is one of the frontrunners on their transfer shortlist for the position. <\/p>\n

Sources have confirmed Leeds have two top targets for the role, but with other contingency plans in case neither materialise. Buonanotte is one of the two, due to his versatility in the two roles.<\/p>\n

Leeds United News<\/strong> transfer correspondent Graeme Bailey has provided the latest information. He said: \u201cBuonanotte is on Leeds\u2019 radar they have liked him all summer. <\/p>\n

\u201cLeeds still want this creative playmaker or number 10 profile before the window closes.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuonanotte has been told by Brighton he can leave this summer. He has already seen a few deals fall through, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cLeeds are absolutely still at the table. It\u2019s certainly one to keep an eye on as we approach the deadline.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crucially, he ticks the exact boxes which Farke detailed during the press conference yesterday.<\/p>\n

\"FacundoPhoto by Jon Hobley | MI News\/NurPhoto via Getty ImagesFacundo Buonanotte\u2019s contract situation at Brighton and Leeds\u2019 interest could mean a loan<\/p>\n

Buonanotte was born in Argentina and is of Italian descent, holding dual citizenship. Importantly, he would not count towards a 25-man squad if Leeds were to sign him.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been clear all summer that Buonanotte is not in Brighton\u2019s plans<\/a> after his return from Leicester, and it\u2019s also been reported that Borussia Dortmund have been knocked back for Buonanotte<\/a>. <\/p>\n

It could allow Leeds to swoop in, be that permanently or on loan. The young Argentine is still under contract with Brighton until 2028, meaning they are in no rush to sell him, too.<\/p>\n

Leeds could explore some sort of loan or loan-to-buy type of deal, if Brighton are willing to entertain that type of transfer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leeds United News can provide the latest information regarding the Whites\u2019 interest in Brighton playmaker Facundo Buonanotte.
