‘I really wanted to come to Leeds instead of anywhere else’ – Leeds confirm signing of Buonanotte | OneFootball

Leeds United have confirmed the signing of Facundo Buonanotte on loan from Brighton until the end of the season.

The Argentinian’s loan spell at Chelsea was cut short, allowing the attacking midfielder to join Leeds for the remainder of the campaign.

“I am very happy to be here,” Buonanotte said. “I really wanted to come to Leeds instead of anywhere else. The time was right for me to come here to Leeds.

“I played with Brighton a few seasons ago and I said to my family, to my teammates, Leeds is one of the best teams in the Premier League for sure.

“First, I want to help Leeds. I need to do a good job here. And then, of course, if I have a chance to go to the World Cup, obviously I want to go.

“I like to play on the line, score goals and play assists,” the creative midfielder added, describing his style of play. “I like to be between the lines and, of course, score.

“I want to show the fans my quality and how I can help the team stay in the Premier League. I am ready to play and I hope Saturday we can win.”
