Tottenham are now ‘interested’ in Argentine prospect likened to Lionel Messi

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing the Argentine prospect Facundo Buonanotte this summer.

According to journalist Sebastien Vidal, the Brighton attacking midfielder could be on the move this summer, and Tottenham are facing competition from West Ham for his signature. The player was on loan at Leicester City last season, and he was quite impressive for them.

He is highly rated across Europe, and Tottenham would do well to secure his signature. It would be interesting to see if they decide to sign the player on loan or on a permanent deal. Buonanotte was linked with Spurs last season as well.

Spurs need someone like Buonanotte

They need more creativity and cutting-edge in the final third, and the 20-year-old could be the ideal long-term acquisition. He is capable of operating centrally as well as on the flanks. He will help create opportunities for his teammates with his vision, passing and technique. 

The 20-year-old is highly rated, and former Premier League star Carlos Tevez once claimed that Buonanotte reminds him of Lionel Messi. 

He said: “I watch football and it’s been a long time since I’ve seen someone play who gives me as much pleasure as Buonanotte.

“When he brakes and accelerates, he reminds me of [Lionel] Messi. He is at a very high level.”
