Leeds United Nears Loan Deal For Brighton Attacker Buonanotte

Leeds United are actively pursuing attacking reinforcements ahead of the transfer deadline, with a particular focus on signing Brighton midfielder Facundo Buonanotte on loan. Buonanotte, a versatile 20-year-old who can play as a No. 10 or winger, spent the previous season on loan at Leicester City, where he scored six goals in 35 games. Leeds have held talks and are considered frontrunners for Buonanotte's signature after interest from other European clubs waned. Meanwhile, Leeds are also targeting Getafe's Christantus Uche, with two Premier League clubs, Leeds and Crystal Palace, vying for his transfer, with Getafe seeking a fee around £15.5 million. Additionally, Leeds are managing outgoing loans for players like Largie Ramazani and Isaac Schmidt, while Valencia is reportedly interested in Leeds goalkeeper Ilian Meslier as a potential replacement for Stole Dimitrievski. Manager Daniel Farke emphasized the club's intent to bolster their attacking options further before the window closes to improve their squad's competitiveness.
