A Leicester City star features in the top 10 of a Premier League wonderkid power rankings list.
Three Added Minutes is a site that has been looking at the best youngsters in the league this season and ranking them based on several metrics.
While it’s not been a perfect season by any means for Leicester, one player has stood out and has found himself among some other Premier League stars.
Facundo Buonanotte makes top 10 of wonderkid power rankings
It’s no surprise to see that Facundo Buonanotte is among the top 10 on the list compiled.
Just days after playing down comparisons to Lionel Messi, the Foxes youngster was placed at number four, two higher than his efforts in the previous week.
The 19-year-old has been Steve Cooper’s best player by a mile and even though it was a quieter game by his standard, he was still able to create plenty of chances and pose a threat to the Ipswich Town backline.
According to the site, Buonanotte was rewarded “for an energetic and enterprising game against Ipswich which only lacked meaningful end product”.
Facundo Buonanotte at risk of missing first game after international break
For all of Buonanotte’s success since coming to the King Power Stadium, the one criticism is probably his discipline.
The winger has four yellow cards already this season, meaning that he will receive a one-match suspension if he picks up another caution.
With Manchester United on Sunday before Chelsea and Brentford after the international break, Cooper can’t afford to lose someone of his quality, especially for the more winnable of fixtures against teams such as Brentford.
If he were to pick up a fifth yellow of the season, Bilal El Khannouss would be the most likely option to replace him.
