Chelsea<\/strong><\/a> are reportedly set to beat Leeds United<\/strong><\/a> to the loan signing of Brighton & Hove Albion attacker Facundo Buonanotte<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old spent the 2024-25 campaign on a temporary deal at Leicester City, who suffered an immediate return to the Championship.<\/p>\n

Despite the Foxes’ relegation, Buonanotte impressed at the King Power Stadium, scoring five goals and providing two assists across 31 Premier League appearances.<\/p>\n

Returning to the South Coast in the summer, it is clear that the Argentine is not part of Fabian Hurzeler<\/strong><\/a>‘s plans at Brighton once again.<\/p>\n

Since signing from Rosario Central in January 2023, Buonanotte has featured on 50 occasions for the Seagulls, netting five goals.<\/p>\n

\"Facundo<\/p>\n

Chelsea set to beat Leeds to Buonanotte signing?<\/p>\n

According to Sky Sports News<\/a>, Buonanotte could be spending his second straight season away from the Amex on a temporary deal.<\/p>\n

The report claims that Club World Cup winners Chelsea are interested in bringing the youngster to Stamford Bridge before the end of the window.<\/p>\n

It is understood that the Blues are the current frontrunners in the race for Buonanotte, who is wanted by a number of Premier League clubs.<\/p>\n

One of those is said to be Leeds, with the Yorkshire Whites looking to bolster their ranks as they aim to avoid relegation this term.<\/p>\n

Borussia Dortmund<\/strong><\/a> are also named as a potential suitor, however it is believed that Brighton want to loan the attacker to another English club.<\/p>\n

\"Chelsea<\/p>\n

Familiar faces await Buonanotte<\/p>\n

With Chelsea appearing set to win the race for Buonanotte, the Argentine could be the latest of a long list of players to make the switch from Brighton to Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

You have to say it would be quite the move for the 20-year-old, who was fighting relegation with Leicester just a few months’ ago.<\/p>\n

Buonanotte would have the potential to showcase himself on the domestic and European stage, with Chelsea reaching the Champions League.<\/p>\n
