Buonanotte fills a position where Foxes 'were lacking' - Cooper

Leicester boss Steve Cooper says new loan signing Facundo Buonanotte fits the attacking midfielder profile they needed to find this summer.

"We have said from day one that we need players in certain positions because some players have had to play out of position during pre-season," Cooper told BBC Radio Leicester following the pre-season defeat to Lens.

"He is a young player but he has Premier League experience too. He is someone the club identified and we are really pleased that he is here."

The 19-year-old signed from Brighton on Saturday and could make his debut for the Foxes in their opening game of the season at home to Tottenham on Monday, 19 August.
