Tottenham want to sign Leicester’s best player this season
By Kian Long
Tottenham Hotspur are believed to be active in the transfer window. They will compete to sign Leicester City's best player this season.
Heading into the November international break, Leicester City sit 15th in the table. With all things considered, this is not a bad position to be in by any means.
After the break, of course, Steve Cooper will be eager to kick on and put together some serious winning momentum. Just before the international break, there were a few disappointing results which might have been avoided with more caution and preparation.
If Leicester City stay up this season, they will be active in the transfer window to strengthen in key positions. However, they might be fearful of Tottenham, with similar plans.
Tottenham want to sign Leicester’s best player this season
According to a report from Fichajes, Leicester City are willing to pay Brighton and Hove Albion's €50m (£41.4m) valuation of Facundo Buonanotte. However, they will face competition from Tottenham Hotspur, who also wish to sign Buonanotte.
This season, Facundo Buonanotte has been the best player at Leicester City. Unfortunately, he is only on loan and Leicester have broken rule number one of never falling in love with loaned players.
That said, it is pretty impossible not to become fascinated by Buonanotte. The Argentine, commonly dubbed as the Midlands Messi, is the full package for Leicester City. He is multifaceted and looks comfortable in most midfield or attacking positions.
Considered a bright prospect for the future, Leicester City might have first dibs when it comes to signing Buonanotte. However, Brighton holds all the cards here, since there is no option or obligation for Leicester to buy him when his contract ends.
Technically speaking, Brighton do not have to sell Buonanotte if they don't want to. Depending on what happens between now and the end of the season for the Seagulls, they might wish to keep him all to themselves. They owe no club anything - This is important to consider.
