Wolves subject to shock Celtic 'approach' before transfer deadline

Wolverhampton Wanderers were subject to a late transfer approach from Scottish Premiership giants Celtic, it has been reported, with a shock move for left-back Huge Bueno attempted.

Brendan Rodgers has been trying to sign a new left-back before the end of the winter window, with Layvin Kurzawa of Paris Saint-Germain considered. Bueno is another option the Bhoys are said to have looked at.

Daily Record reports Celtic contacted Wolves in a bid to sign Bueno - likely on loan - but the response was clear. Gary O'Neil, albeit favouring Rayan Ait-Nouri, sees Bueno as a vital member of his squad, especially with Wanderers pushing for the Premier League top half.

Bueno, who joined Wolves' academy from CD Areosa in 2019, has played 37 times for the senior team. The 21-year-old has 11 Premier League appearances to his name this season, as well as 21 last term.
