Leeds<\/a> United are closing on a loan deal for Brighton<\/a>\u00a0attacking midfielder Facundo Buonanotte.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old spent last season on loan at Leicester City<\/a>, scoring six goals in 35 games.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Daily Mail Sport revealed that Brighton were\u00a0prepared to allow Buonanotte to leave on loan again this summer.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s brightest prospects.<\/p>\n

Brighton moved swiftly to secure his signature in late 2022, with the deal completed in January 2023 for around \u00a35million.<\/p>\n

Since then, Buonanotte has gradually adapted to English football, featuring regularly for Brighton in the Premier League<\/a> before heading to Leicester on loan last season.<\/p>\n

\"Buonanotte <\/p>\n

Buonanotte – able to operate as a No 10 or off the wing – is an attractive option for Daniel Farke<\/p>\n

In total, he has over 100 senior appearances already to his name and has been capped twice by Argentina at senior level.<\/p>\n

Leeds boss Daniel Farke is keen to add more attacking spark to his squad, and Buonanotte\u2019s versatility – able to operate as a No 10 or from the flanks – makes him an attractive option.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere,\u00a0Leeds confirmed the departure of striker Patrick Bamford on Thursday after they cancelled his contract by mutual consent.<\/p>\n
