-
Bueno could provide vital depth for Wolves as they aim to secure a European spot this season.
-
The data shows that Bueno is a viable option for Wolves, having impressed during his time at the club and receiving praise.
With just weeks to go until the transfer window closes, Wolverhampton Wanderers are at risk of losing one player amid the European club's renewed efforts.
Wolves spread rumours
Following an impressive debut campaign in the Midlands, Gary O'Neil may have been worried about losing a number of stars this summer. But as the Premier League campaign draws to a close, Wolves have so far only lost Max Kilman and have managed to retain the likes of Pedro Neto and Matheus Cunha with major upgrades.
That doesn't mean they haven't received interest, however, with Neto linked with Tottenham Hotspur and Joao Gomes reportedly attracting Premier League giants Arsenal. Alas, as things stand, Wolves will start their season against Arsenal with many of O'Neil's best players to call upon as the transfer deadline approaches at the end of the month.
Instead of those who regularly steal the headlines at Molineux, one player who has found himself closer to O'Neil's starting line-up than front and center could still be heading for the exit door amid recent interest.

Gary O'Neil may find a Colombian acquaintance this summer…
According to 1908 NL, Feyenoord have been in contact with Hugo Beuno and his representatives regarding a possible loan move this summer, joining Celtic in the race to sign the left-back. The Boys are yet to reach an agreement with Wolves and now face competition from Feyenoord to make matters worse.
Bueno finds himself at a crossroads, having lost his starting spot to Rayan Ait-Nouri last summer. If game time is what he wants then Feyenoord could be a viable option on a loan that may include an option to buy. Perhaps joining Kilman out the door, Bueno would leave Wolves looking for depth at left back.
Wolves still need “very good” Bueno
Squad depth is often key in the Premier League, so is England's full football schedule, and this season will be no different. As Wolves look to avoid relegation for good and perhaps shock the rest of the league by fighting for a European place, they could look to land Bueno this summer. In the Spaniard, who earns £10k-a-week, and Ait-Nouri, O'Neil has two strong options to fight for a place in his side.

The numbers suggest there is still room for Bueno to fight for at Wolves, as was the case for Ait-Nouri when O'Neil first came on board. The 20-year-old has received praise throughout his time at the club, including from O'Neil. former interim manager Steve Davis, who told the Wolves website following Bueno's full-time arrival in 2022: “I thought he was at a high level, he didn't disappoint anyone. He felt that we trust him, we know him, as a character we know he can do, and he is ready. He was ready for that moment and I thought he took it very well. I thought he was very nice.”
