Wolves complete signing of young South American center-back – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Wolverhampton Wanderers have confirmed the signing of Yerson Mosquera, as revealed on their official website.
The 20-year-old centre-back becomes the first player to arrive at Molineux since the arrival of the club’s new manager Bruno Lage who succeeded Nuno Espirito Santo.
Mosquera made his debut for Atletico Nacional in October 2020 but scored tremendous maturity and perseverance as he went on to become a key part of Juan Carlos Osorio’s side quickly.
The youngster played a big role in helping his side to top the Colombian league standings while he also featured regularly in the Copa Libertadores.
Mosquera’s arrival at Wolves has been made easier by the fact that new British government rules make it easier for them to sign young players from outside the EU.
It remains to be seen whether the club will opt to send Mosquera out on loan in order to adapt to life in Europe or rather opt to integrate him straight into the first team.
His rise has been inspirational and he could go on to become a good long-term investment.
He comes from a similar background to Everton’s Yerry Mina and Tottenham’s Davinson Sanchez. Both players have proven to be quality performers in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, another player that Wolves have been linked with is goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
The shot-stopper is expected to join a new club this summer following Sheffield United’s relegation from the Premier League last season. The 23-year-old has proven to be a quality keeper in the English top-flight and is expected to soon be a contender for the England first-choice goalkeeping position.
Wolves keeper Rui Patricio has reportedly agreed personal terms with Serie A club Roma, and is expected to leave this summer.
