Hugo Bueno López is a Spanish professional footballer who plays primarily as a left-back or left wing-back.
Born on 18 September 2002 in Vigo, Galicia, he stands approximately 1.80 metres tall and is left-footed.
He currently features for Wolverhampton Wanderers in the EFL Championship, wearing the number 3 shirt, after progressing through the club’s ranks following his arrival from Spanish youth football.
Known for his attacking contributions from the flank, energy, and ability to deliver crosses while remaining solid defensively, Bueno has established himself as a reliable squad player in English football.
Siblings
Hugo has one sibling, an identical twin brother named Guillermo Bueno López.
The brothers were born minutes apart on the same day in Vigo and share a remarkably similar physical appearance that has often made them difficult to tell apart, even for those close to them.
Both are left-footed defenders who primarily operate as left-backs or wing-backs and developed their early football skills together in local Galician clubs.
They played alongside each other at clubs including Gondomar and CD Areosa until their mid-teens.
Their paths diverged when Hugo moved to England at age 16, while Guille remained longer in Spain before joining Deportivo La Coruña’s youth setup and later moving to Borussia Dortmund’s system in Germany.
Guille has since played for Dortmund’s reserves, spent time on loan at SV Darmstadt 98, and currently plays for Real Valladolid in Spain’s Segunda División.
