Wolves loanee Hugo Bueno is living his best life on loan at Feyenoord in the Netherlands.
After seeing his game time drop significantly after Julen Lopetegui’s exit, Gary O’Neil deemed it right to send Bueno on loan.
The Spaniard opted to sign for Feyenoord, who are challenging in the Eredivisie and also the Champions League.
After an injury-laden start to life in the Netherlands, Bueno has found his feet as one of Brian Priske’s most important players, making the left side of defence his own.

Hugo Bueno earns high praise on loan at Feyenoord
The defender has found joy so far at Feyenoord, where his performances have been highly praised.
Bueno’s approach to play has left many applauding his impact on loan, with PSV Eindhoven assistant manager Theo Lucius the latest to join the party.
In a piece with Dutch outlet De Telegraaf, Lucius, who featured for Feyenoord during his playing career, waxed lyrical about the Wolves loanee.
“Bueno has become important at Feyenoord in a short time and he is one of those guys in the back who remains very calm, both defensively and in the build-up, against any opponent or any pressure.”
Lucius went on to applaud the impact that signing Bueno has had on his former club’s defence, dubbing Priske’s back line as ‘supreme’.
“They have that well organized there, just as they often stand well and get the pressure on when they lose a ball. People thought it would be an exciting match at FC Utrecht, but they were supreme.”
In the 2-0 win over Utrecht, Bueno played a significant role, recording an assist and being rated Sofascore’s man of the match.
Will there be a space for Bueno at Wolves?
After reflecting on what Bueno is doing on loan at Feyenoord, the question of where his Wolves future lies naturally follows.
The Spaniard was allowed to leave by O’Neil due to the competition for playing time as a result of the rise of Rayan Ait-Nouri.

The Algerian’s future at Molineux and the position of the club at the end of the season could be two factors that influence Bueno’s future in the West Midlands.
Added to that, Feyenoord might find themselves at a crossroads regarding whether to make an offer to sign the left-back permanently, with the 22-year-old certainly imprinting on those at De Kuip.
For now, the most important thing is that Bueno is relishing life away from Wolves, going from strength to strength at his temporary home.
