Facundo Buonanotte (centre) spent the first half of the season at Chelsea Brighton midfielder Facundo Buonanotte has joined Leeds on loan after the Argentine's temporary spell at Chelsea was cut short. Buonanotte, 21, only made one Premier League appearance for Chelsea, who beat Leeds to his season-long loan signing in September. The twice-capped Argentina international played a further seven games in other competitions for the Blues, including Saturday's 5-1 FA Cup third-round win at Charlton. He has moved to Elland Road until the end of the season, with Leeds describing him as a versatile left-footer who can play in central areas behind the striker, on either wing or in a deeper role. Buonanotte joined Brighton from Rosario Central in 2023 and has made 50 appearances for the Seagulls. He was loaned out to Leicester last season, playing 35 games and scoring six times.
