Tottenham Hotspur have registered interest in Facundo Buonanotte this summer, according to a post on X by Sebastien Vidal. The Argentine playmaker remains on Brighton & Hove Albion’s books but spent last season on loan at Leicester City, where he produced a sequence of useful performances in the final third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Buonanotte, 20, featured 35 times for Leicester across all competitions in the previous campaign. He scored six goals and supplied three assists during that spell. In Premier League action he averaged 2.13 shots per 90 minutes, and recorded a pass success rate of 76.4 percent in the English first division, according to fbref.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His attributes are clear from those performances. Buonanotte is a confident dribbler who makes driving runs into and around the penalty area. He can strike from distance with power and shows the vision to create chances for team-mates. At the same time he remains raw and would require time to develop the consistency expected in the Premier League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Contractually, Buonanotte is tied to Brighton until the summer of 2028, which complicates any attempt to sign him on the cheap. Tottenham would therefore likely need to negotiate seriously to secure his services this window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tactically, Buonanotte is primarily an attacking midfielder but can also operate on the right side if required. For Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank, he would offer additional quality and depth to the frontline and could function as a useful squad option in the coming seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At 20, Buonanotte carries potential, provided he continues to improve year on year. Spurs are understood to be weighing that potential ahead of this summer\u2019s transfer activity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
