Spanish left-back Jonny Castro Otto is on loan at Wolverhampton Wanderers from Atletico Madrid.
No one set up more goals in the Championship last season than Barry Douglas. So Wolverhampton Wanderers certainly caused a shock when they sold the set-piece specialist to Leeds United before replacing him with Jonny Castro Otto.
But no one is questioning that decision now.
Spain international left-back Jonny has been a revelation since he arrived at Molineux, helping Nuno Espirito Santo into the top half of the table while impressing at either end of the pitch.
Whether his long-term future is in England, however, remains to be seen. Jonny is only on loan from Atletico Madrid, who signed him from Celta Vigo in July for £6.2 million on a six-year contract (AS).
According to the Birmingham Mail, Wolves are unsure whether they will be able to sign the 24-year-old permanently, although sporting director Kevin Thelwell admitted that they are likely to look into the situation during the January transfer window.
It seems that Atletico identified Jonny as a replacement for the 33-year-old Brazilian Filipe Luis. The former Chelsea left-back is out of contract next summer, so the plan could be for Jonny to return once Luis bids farewell.
