Facundo Buonanotte, a 21-year-old attacking midfielder, is set to join Leeds United on loan from Brighton for the remainder of the season. This move comes after a brief and largely unsuccessful spell at Chelsea, where he spent £2 million on a loan fee but struggled to secure consistent playing time.
Buonanotte made only eight appearances for Chelsea across all competitions, with just one Premier League outing in September. His loan spell was cut short by Chelsea, Brighton, and the player himself due to limited opportunities under manager Liam Rosenior. He was an unused substitute in Chelsea's recent Carabao Cup semi-final defeat against Arsenal.
Buonanotte is expected to undergo a medical imminently and could be available for Leeds' match against Fulham. The article also touches on Chelsea's performance against Arsenal, mentioning the impact of Alejandro Garnacho, and provides updates on other Chelsea players' injuries and illnesses.
