Successes of the young Argentinean have not gone ignored. His status as a future rising star was further cemented when he appeared on The Guardian’s prestigious “Next Generation” list in 2021.
The club’s strategic plan to find South American players with enormous long-term potential is compatible with Brighton’s pursuit of the Argentine. Julio Enciso, Facundo Buonanotte, Moises Caicedo, and Alexis Mac Allister were notable signings throughout the course of the previous five summer transfer windows from illustrious clubs in the area.
