Capable of playing on either wing or behind a striker, Gonzalez came to prominence in the Paraguayan Primera Division during the 12 months prior to joining Wolves, which earned him a first move away from his home nation and to Europe.

By September 2022 Gonzalez had broken into the first-team at Libertad, where Brighton & Hove Albion’s Julio Enciso was discovered, and during the 2023 season, which began in January, he’s become a regular in the starting 11.

Across his 23 league games during his first full season in the league, the Paraguayan scored three times, laid on two assists and proved a thorn in the side of full-backs with his confident, all-round performances out wide.

During the first period of the Paraguayan Primera Division, Libertad lifted the Apertura trophy at the halfway point in June, earning Gonzalez a first title, while he’s been a fixture in the first-team since.

The youngster brought experience of playing on the continent in 2023, having featured in the Copa Libertadores, South America’s Champions League equivalent, which Wolves’ Joao Gomes previously won with Flamengo.

Having attracted the Wolves recruitment team for his tenacious South American attitude, Gonzalez earned plaudits for his trickery and low sense of gravity when on the ball, as well as his defensive duties moving the opposite way.

The teenager arrived at Molineux having played all eight of Libertad’s games since the turn of the 2023 Clausura season, playing predominantly on his favoured left foot on the left wing.
