Celtic Exclusive: Big Hugo Bueno update tonight

Celtic are in talks to sign Wolves left-back Hugo Bueno before the window shuts, sources have told Football Insider.

Wolves are willing to loan out the Spaniard to give him regular senior football, while the Hoops are looking to provide cover and competition for Greg Taylor.

One concern for the Premier League side is that Taylor is set for imminent talks over a new Celtic contract.

That means that, should a deal be agreed, Bueno would likely be their second choice, which might not provide the amount of football Wolves are hoping for him to get.

The Midlands big hitters want the 21-year-old to play frequently to help him develop quicker, but they will only accept an offer if there is a clear plan in place.

Bueno has Rayan Ait Nouri and Matt Doherty ahead of him at Molineux, so first-team football will be limited next season.

Celtic want Hugo Beuno to provide strength in depth

Even though Celtic already have a first-choice left-back under contract, the Hoops want the Spain Under-21 international to provide options for Brendan Rodgers.

The Hoops boasted the best defensive record in the Scottish Premiership last season, which was a significant factor in them winning the league.

Rodgers has restructured things at the back this summer, with Kasper Schmeichel joining the club following Joe Hart’s retirement.

With Celtic looking to compete on all fronts next season, adding further depth to the squad is important for Rodgers.

Bueno would provide Taylor with the necessary, but a deal will depend on how much football the Scottish giants can guarantee him.
