Loan Deal on the Table
Wolverhampton Wanderers have communicated their willingness to loan out Hugo Bueno to Celtic, with the stipulation that the young left-back receives ample playing time. The Scottish Premier League champions have expressed interest in a season-long loan for the Spain Under-21 international to bolster their defensive options.
Development is Key for Bueno’s Future
Wolves’ strategy for Bueno’s progression hinges on him gaining consistent, high-quality match experience. The Premier League club is prepared to entertain offers from teams that present a solid pathway for the 21-year-old’s development.
Competition for Places at Wolves
With Rayan Ait Nouri and Matt Doherty currently preferred choices at Molineux, Bueno faces a tough challenge breaking into the first team. The competition for the left-back spot has limited his opportunities, prompting Wolves to consider loan options for his growth.
Celtic’s Search for Defensive Reinforcement
The Glasgow giants have been monitoring Bueno, among other potential loan signings, to provide competition for their current left-back, Greg Taylor. Celtic’s scouting efforts indicate a proactive approach to strengthen their squad depth, especially in the defensive flank.
Bueno’s Career at Wolves
Since turning professional, Bueno has been a one-club man, making 49 appearances and finding the net once for Wolves’ first team. His attacking prowess has seen him deployed further up the pitch, including a stint as a left midfielder under Gary O’Neil last season.
Urgent Need for Left-Back Cover at Celtic
Celtic’s squad depth is a concern, particularly in the left-back position where they lack a natural substitute for Greg Taylor. The club’s management is keen to address this vulnerability to ensure they are well-equipped for any eventualities in the upcoming season.
Taylor’s Vital Role and Pre-Season Form
Last season, Taylor was a mainstay in the Celtic line-up with 46 appearances. His recent performance in Celtic’s 4-3 pre-season victory over Manchester City in the USA underlines his importance to the team and the necessity for quality cover in his position.
