Chelsea are close to completing the loan signing of Brighton & Hove Albion attacking midfielder Facundo Buonanotte, multiple reports have revealed.
The Blues had been favourites all summer long to land Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig, in what was viewed as a key transfer to boost Enzo Maresca’s attacking options. But after weeks of the proposed move stalling, London rivals Tottenham Hotspur nipped in to complete a €60 million (£51.8 million, $70 million) deal on Friday after Simons indicated a willingness to move to north London.
