Facundo Buonanotte joins Elche on season-long Brighton loan | OneFootball

Facundo Buonanotte will spend the season on loan in the Spanish top flight with promoted Elche.

According to TheArgus.co.uk, the Argentinian midfielder links up with compatriot Martin Anselmi, recently appointed head coach.

The 21-year-old has yet to break into Fabian Hurzeler’s immediate plans, after loans at Leicester, Chelsea and Leeds across the past two seasons.

He joined Albion from Rosario Central three-and-a-half years ago, and the club remain keen to monitor his progress.

Buonanotte struggled for minutes at Chelsea and Leeds last term, so he will hope for a stronger run in Spain.

He trained with Albion in pre-season in Vienna and came on as a second-half substitute in the No.10 role against Strasbourg.

Elche secured promotion as runners-up on the final day with a 4-0 win at Deportivo La Coruna. Head coach Eder Sarabia then stepped down for personal and family reasons, and Anselmi took over.
