Buonanotte – capable of function as a No 10 or off the wing – is a pretty possibility for Daniel Farke
In whole, he has over 100 senior appearances already to his title and has been capped twice by Argentina at senior degree.
Leeds boss Daniel Farke is eager so as to add extra attacking spark to his squad, and Buonanotte’s versatility – capable of function as a No 10 or from the flanks – makes him a pretty possibility.
Elsewhere, Leeds confirmed the departure of striker Patrick Bamford on Thursday after they cancelled his contract by mutual consent.
