They need more quality and depth in the attacking unit, and the 19-year-old is capable of slotting into multiple roles. He will add goals and creativity to the side.
The South American prospect can operate as a central attacking midfielder as well as a winger. It will be interesting to see if Brighton & Hove Albion are willing to sanction his departure. The Seagulls will have seen his performances with Leicester City this season, and they might want to use him next year.
It remains to be seen of the situation develops. The report states that the player is valued at €35 million.

Buonanotte would be a quality addition
