Leeds are finally set to sign Facundo Buonanotte.<\/p>\n
Buonanotte was due to sign for Leeds in the summer transfer window<\/a> before Chelsea swooped in and hijacked the loan deal. <\/p>\n However, Chelsea have now terminated his loan and the Whites have agreed a deal to take him for the second half of the campaign. <\/p>\n Now, an update has been shared on when he will travel to Elland Road<\/a> to complete the formalities of the move. <\/p>\n \ud83d\udea8\ud83d\udfe1\ud83d\udd35 EXCLUSIVE: Leeds United reach verbal agreement to sign Facundo Buonanotte!<\/p>\n Chelsea to interrupt loan move from Brighton, leaving #CFC<\/a> to return to #BHAFC<\/a> and then join Leeds.<\/p>\n Move to #LUFC<\/a> will be on loan until the end of the season.
