Spurs Submit £20m Bid for 19-Year-Old Premier League Sensation
Tottenham Intensify Pursuit of Premier League Midfielder but Fall Short of Asking Price
Facundo Buonanotte: A Rising Star in the Premier League
Facundo Buonanotte’s loan move from Brighton to Leicester City during the summer barely made headlines, but the teenager has emerged as one of the Premier League’s standout young talents this season.
The attacking midfielder has shone at the King Power Stadium, earning him a spot in Argentina’s national team setup and cementing his reputation as a player with immense potential.
His performances have not gone unnoticed, with Tottenham Hotspur reportedly tracking the 19-year-old’s development closely.
Spurs’ interest in Buonanotte has been substantiated by reports from Fichajes, which claim the club is preparing a bid for the player when his loan at Leicester concludes next summer.
Manager Ange Postecoglou is said to admire the Argentine’s creativity and versatility, believing he could bring dynamism to Tottenham’s midfield.
Brighton reportedly value Buonanotte at €35m (£29m), but Tottenham’s initial offer is understood to be €25m (£20.7m) plus add-ons. Negotiations are expected to intensify as the season progresses.
Despite Brighton’s reputation as a selling club, they are known for securing high transfer fees for their players.
Should Buonanotte maintain his impressive form, it is likely that manager Fabian Hurzeler will want to integrate him into Brighton’s starting XI next season.
This could further complicate any potential deal, as the Seagulls might raise their asking price to £40m-£50m.
While Tottenham remain keen, securing Buonanotte’s signature could prove challenging.
However, his performances this season suggest he is destined for a bright future, whether at Brighton, Leicester, or elsewhere in the Premier League.
