Celtic are in the hunt for late reinforcements and will expect to be active until tonight’s 11.30 pm transfer deadline.

Nicolas Kuhn was the first to enter the fold during the mid-season window after arriving from Rapid Vienna for a fee reported to be £3 million.

Bringing in a striker has also become a priority for Brendan Rodgers due to Hyeongyu Oh and Daizen Maeda’s absence on AFC Asian Cup duty.

The Republic of Ireland international will arrive at Celtic until the end of the campaign; nevertheless, Sky Sports reporter Anthony Joseph has confirmed there isn’t an option to buy inserted into his agreement.

Paris Saint-Germain full-back Layvin Kurzawa has been mentioned as a potential recruit at left-back. On the flip side, the Ligue 1 giants’ financial demands may make the deal difficult to conclude.

Anthony Joseph drops update on Hugo Bueno Celtic approach

Nevertheless, Joseph has now confirmed that the Old Gold turned down an approach from Celtic for the Spain Under-21 international.

It is unclear whether Rodgers’ men plan to return with another proposal to try and tempt Gary O’Neil to part ways with the Vigo-born man.

Football Scotland’s Mark Hendry has also offered his thoughts on the state of play surrounding Bueno, stating via social media platform X: “Told ‘doubtful’ Wolves would allow Hugo Bueno loan exit this month. Had been linked with Celtic as left-back.”

The 21-year-old has become something of a regular for Wolves this campaign, making 14 appearances across all competitions [Transfermarkt].

Despite this, Celtic will likely divert their attention elsewhere as they aim to recruit a left-back in the coming hours.
