Tottenham Hotspur Are Showing Interest In Premier League Playmaker: One For The Future? | OneFootball

In a recent post on X, renowned journalist Sebastien Vidal mentioned that Tottenham Hotspur are showing interest in Brighton and Hove Albion playmaker Facundo Buonanotte this summer. It has been revealed that Spurs are eyeing a move to secure the services of the Argentine youngster in this transfer window.

Buonanotte’s Impressive Loan Spell In English Football

Buonanotte enjoyed a decent loan spell at Leicester City last season after he produced a series of impressive displays for them in the final third. The 20-year-old found the back of the net six times and earned three assists in 35 matches for the Foxes in the previous campaign across all fronts.

The Argentine talent caught the eye at times in the opponent’s half as he averaged 2.13 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League. He was even accurate when distributing possession in the final third based on his pass success rate of 76.4% in the English first division (stats via fbref.com).

Buonanotte’s current contract with his parent club Brighton will run out in the summer of 2028. Hence, it won’t be easy for Spurs to get a deal done for him on the cheap in this transfer window.

Tottenham Hotspur Are Showing Interest In Buonanotte: Is He A Prospect For The Future?

Buonanotte is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and can make a few driving runs with it in and around the opponent’s penalty area. He can strike the ball with power from long range and has got the vision to engineer some inviting chances for others around him up top.

However, the Argentine whizkid is still quite raw and would need time before he can be a consistent performer in the Premier League. He is primarily an attacking midfielder but can also serve as a right-sided wide player if told to do so.

We can expect Buonanotte to bring more quality and depth to Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank’s frontline. He is good enough to serve as a decent squad player for the North London club in the coming seasons.

At 20, the future looks quite bright for Buonanotte as long as he continues to improve with each year. He is undoubtedly a prospect to watch out for in the future, so Spurs would be wise to snap him up this summer.
