Football wonderkids: Brighton youngster included in list with Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Barcelona prospects

The Argentinian midfielder was named alongside some of the world’s best youngsters in this year’s GOAL NXGN Awards.

The fifty unranked nominees included players from across European football’s biggest clubs – such as Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester United.

This year, instead of selecting a sole award victor, GOAL will chose an elite group that we believe are the very top of the class, known as the NXGN Nine.

Buoanotte joined Albion from Rosario Central in January in a £5.3m move and has so far made four appearances for the Seagulls.

He is joined on the list by fellow teammate Evan Ferguson – who recently scored his sixth and seventh goal of the season to help Brighton into the FA Cup semi final with a 5-0 over Grimsby Town on Sunday, March 19.
