Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Argentine winger Facundo Buonanotte.
The 19-year-old Brighton winger is currently on loan at Leicester City and he has impressed with the Foxes so far. His performance attracted the attention of the North London club and a report from Fichajes claims that they have ‘set their sights’ on signing the South American.
Brighton are willing to sell him for a fee of around €50 million and it will be interesting to see if Spurs are ready to pay up.
Tottenham could certainly use more quality in the wide areas, especially with Son Heung-min in his twilight years and Richarslison struggling to live up to the expectations due to mediocre performances and injury problems.
Buonanotte would be a quality long-term acquisition for Tottenham if they can get the deal done. The asking price might seem like a premium right now, but the 19-year-old has the potential to justify the investment in the coming seasons.
He is well-settled in English football and he could make an immediate impact at Tottenham if he joins the club. Wilson Odobert, Brennan Johnson and Facundo Buonanotte could sort out the wide areas for Tottenham for the foreseeable future.
Leicester are hoping to sign the player permanently as well, but it seems unlikely that they will be able to compete with Tottenham financially. Also, the London club will be a much more attractive destination destination for the player. They might be able to offer him European football next season and the platform to challenge for trophies.
The 19-year-old will want to compete at the highest level and a move to Tottenham would be ideal for him. It will be interesting to see if the North London club follow up on their interest with an official proposal to sign the player at the end of the season.
