Celtic Enter Discussions for January Left-Back Target

Celtic is pursuing a season-long loan for Wolverhampton Wanderers’ left-back Hugo Bueno as they look to bolster their defensive options ahead of the new season.

At 21 years old, Bueno has made 49 appearances for Wolves since his transfer from Areosa in 2019, scoring once. He made the transfer to the EPL tea for a mere £3k.

Currently, Celtic finds itself in need of strengthening the left-back position, particularly with Greg Taylor as the sole senior left-back available—Alexandro Bernabei is out on loan. With Taylor’s contract set to expire next summer, securing Bueno could provide much-needed comPetition and depth in that role.

Celtic start their season in just over a week, so the clock is ticking if they want to have the Spaniard on their books for Kilmarnock’s visit.
