Celtic is reportedly interested in securing a loan deal for Brighton’s young talent Facundo Buonanotte.

This interest comes as Southampton also eyes the promising Argentine, with both clubs looking to bolster their attacking options.

Feyenoord had shown interest in Buonanotte but has ‘drawn a line through his name’. AD.nl suggests that Buonanotte is likely to remain in England, casting some doubt over the feasibility of a move to Celtic or any other foreign club for that matter.

Buonanotte, who hails from Argentina, has made a notable impact at Brighton, appearing 50 times across all competitions aged just 19.

For Celtic, Buonanotte could provide a versatile option in the attack, capable of playing both as a right winger and an attacking midfielder.

The potential acquisition of Buonanotte could become even more intriguing given the ongoing discussions between Celtic and Brighton regarding Matt O’Riley. With O’Riley’s potential move to Brighton, there could be opportunities for negotiations that might include a switch for Buonanotte to Celtic as part of the deal, though this remains speculative at this stage with no credible report backing this.

It’s certainly a link to keep an eye on over the next few days and weeks.
