Leicester City confirm Facundo Buonanotte loan signing | OneFootball

Leicester City have confirmed the signing of exciting Brighton forward Facundo Buonanotte on loan for the upcoming Premier League campaign.

The Foxes were on the hunt for fresh attacking additions for Steve Cooper's side, and have opted for the Argentine international, who made 36 appearances across all competitions last season.

The 19-year-old, who is comfortable as a No. 10 or in a wide role, has joined until the end of the season but the deal does not include a permanent purchase option.

Leicester have beaten stiff competition from Eredivisie outfit Feyenoord for the Argentine international's signature.

Reports claim that Steve Cooper is keen to add three or four more new faces before the transfer window closes.

“I’m very happy to be here at this incredible and important Club. I hope to show my best for the group and that we achieve great things. I spoke a lot with the manager, and he filled me with confidence - it was an easy decision for me to come here", Buonanotte explained.

“It’s a big opportunity for me and for this reason I had no doubts about coming. I’m here to help the Club to finish as high as possible in the league.”

He becomes Leicester's fifth signing of the summer.
