Facundo Buonanotte is an obvious fan favourite at Leicester City.
Since joining on loan in the summer, Buonanotte has been one of Leicester’s best players this season.
The young Argentine has four goals to his name, bettered only by Jamie Vardy.
Although he didn’t score or assist in the Foxes’ 3-1 win against West Ham United on Tuesday, Buonanotte was still here, there and everywhere at the King Power Stadium.
Given his impressive performances, it was only a matter of time before the Leicester faithful came up with a chant for the 19-year-old and it appears it was worth the wait.

What is the song Leicester fans sing about Facundo Buonanotte?
Most players at Leicester have a chant dedicated to them but loan players are usually an exception.

To the tune of Take me Home, Country Roads by John Denver, the song goes:
