**Leicester City manager Steve Cooper has heaped praise on Brighton loanee Facundo Buonanotte, highlighting the 19-year-old’s commitment to the club and his impressive performances so far this season.**
Despite the Argentine midfielder’s potential for a permanent move, Cooper suggested that the current loan deal, which expires next summer, will likely be a one-year agreement.
Brighton’s loan manager, Gordon Greer, recently visited Leicester’s training ground to assess Buonanotte’s progress, indicating the Seagulls are closely monitoring his development.
“While he’s here, we treat him like he’s our own,” Cooper stated, emphasizing the collaborative relationship with Brighton. “He’s really settled in, he’s bought into the dressing room, and he’s playing in a way that’s good for the team.”
Buonanotte, who has contributed five goals and assists in his first ten appearances for Leicester, is poised to start against Manchester United on Sunday. However, a yellow card at Old Trafford would result in a suspension, adding an extra layer of pressure to his performance.
The manager also emphasized Buonanotte’s positive impact on the squad, praising his training ethic, determination, and willingness to put the team first.
“We’re really enjoying working with him, we really enjoy pushing him and trying to get the best out of him,” Cooper concluded.
**Leicester fans will be hoping for Buonanotte’s continued success, but for now, his time at the club appears to be a temporary chapter in his promising young career.**
