Leicester City have all of a sudden made a pretty decent start to the Premier League campaign after their win against Southampton on Saturday afternoon.

Leicester came back from a two-goal deficit to win on the South Coast, with Jordan Ayew netting a stoppage-time winner.

Abdul Fatawu earned most of the plaudits for his sensational cameo appearance, as he completely changed the game when he came on just before the hour mark.

Fatawu has now staked a major claim to start against East Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest on Friday at King Power Stadium.

Facundo Buonanotte also showed his quality, too and it’s become evident what Leicester need to do in Janaury.

Leicester need to go all out to sign Facundo Buonanotte on a permanent transfer in January

Facundo Buonanotte has been a revelation for Leicester since joining on loan from Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer.

Buonanotte has netted three times whilst laying on two assists in seven league outings, including a super finish on the weekend.

The 2004-born has arguably been the signing of the summer, though, the only downside is that he’ll be heading back to Brighton come the end of the season.

So far that reason, City must do everything they can to sign Buananotte on a permanent transfer in January – before his value rises even further come the summer.

His value is only going to continue to soar, especially since he has been called up to the Argentina squad recently.

Facundo Buonanotte’s underlying data is exceptional

Buonanotte’s underlying FBref data makes for very impressive reading, indeed.

The Argentinian playmaker ranks in the top seven per cent for pass completion compared to his positional peers across Europe, evincing his supreme ability on the ball.

Further, he sits in the top one per cent for tackles and four per cent for blocks, amplifying his defensive work rate, too.

What a signing he’s been for The Foxes.
