Leeds United looking to seal PL agreement for teenage sensation in “coming days” – Jouranlist
The Whites are preparing for their fourth game of the Championship season this week as they travel to 100% Ipswich Town, knowing they need plenty of signings to come in very soon.
Attacking midfield has been a topic of conversation at Elland Road, given how Daniel Farke enjoyed the success of Emi Buendia in his two successful EFL seasons at Norwich City.

Reports emerged on Monday evening from Argentine Viktor Bilsky, who claims that Leeds are closing in on the signing of Brighton attacking midfielder Facundo Buonanotte.
This has been relayed since by journalist Bruno Gonzalez Garcia, who claims a loan agreement will be reached in the “coming days”:
Who is Buonanotte?
Having risen to prominence in Argentina with Rosario Central, the teenager made his debut at the age of 17 where he impressed in the Argentine Primera Division, before making a move to Brighton for a fee that could rise to £10million with add-ons.
He scored his first Premier League goal last season away to Nottingham Forest, latching onto a spilled shot to tap into an empty net, while notching an assist in March during the 4-0 battering of West Ham at the AMEX.
It’s a very eye-catching signing if we are pulling this one off, because of the talent we’re talking about with Buonanotte.
He’s only 18 so it’s hard to expect and demand perfect performances from him in a highly physically Championship division.
However, we have been crying out for a creative presence capable of operating the spaces that Farke needs quality in, and Buonanotte is just that.
