Leeds finally land Buonanotte from Brighton

However, with his game time limited, Leeds asked again and the 21-year-old has cut short his loan at Chelsea to move to Elland Road on a loan with option to buy.

'I really wanted to come to Leeds instead of anywhere else. The time was right for me to come here to Leeds,' he told LUTV.

'First, I want to help Leeds. I need to do a good job here. And then, of course, if I have a chance to go to the World Cup, obviously I want to go.'
