Loaned to Leeds United

Buonanotte has joined Leeds United on loan from Brighton for the remainder of the season, according to his new club.

Analysis: Buonanotte is going to remain in the Premier League but is away from Brighton for the rest of the season, joining Leeds. This comes after he ended his loan with Chelsea for the first half of the season, appearing eight times for the club but mainly in cup play, with only one league appearance all season. He does show decent promise after seven goal contributions in 31 appearances (14 starts) in the 2024/25 season with Leicester City, potentially a solid addition on the flanks for Leeds.

Assists in Carabao Cup

Buonanotte provided one assist and played 65 minutes during Tuesday's Carabao Cup clash with Cardiff City.

Analysis: Buonanotte got a rare start as he's largely been out of favor, and provided an assist. The attacking midfielder looked threatening throughout the match and set up Alejandro Garnacho for the opening goal. Buonanotte still seems unlikely to play any sort of significant role in the Premier League, with most of his time coming in cup competitions.
