Yerson Mosquera cannot wait to pull on the Wolves shirt again, representing the club and city he described as “home”.
The Colombian missed the majority of last season with a serious injury picked up at Aston Villa in September, but signed a new deal with the club in March and is now targeting a return to team training this coming pre-season.
The signs are promising on the 24-year-old’s recovery and now, having been on Wolves’ books for four years, the defender is looking to make up for lost time last season and get the momentum going for his Old Gold career under Vitor Pereira, who has made quite the impression on Mosquera.
On his fitness improving
“I feel OK. I'm really happy because my progress is good. I feel good, I feel comfortable. That's the most important thing. I have confidence that I can do the exercises well and my body feels good. The progress is going well. I will be trying with the team maybe in pre-season, but I need to keep going now, I need to prepare.
“I will stay here for one more week, because I need to work. I need to recover well. I need to go to summer and do something as well, because I need to be back ready for the next step, it’s really important for me. I need to show the fans why I need to stay here, why I need to play. That's my point, to show them a good show.
“I'm excited to wear the shirt, because I love the football and this is my home – I’m Wolves and I love this club, I love this city, I love the supporters, and I will hopefully stay here for a long time.”
On excitement joining the group
“That is the point. That is my focus. I put in 100 per cent every day. I'm training every day, hard, because I need to be back with them, but this is football, I don't know the plan yet. Maybe I will start with them for pre-season, if not one week after, but the point is to stay ready when they need me.
“I think it's normal, because when you love the football, you want to play, always. It's difficult in my situation, but I want to be back. I'm angry because I want to play. I know the other players and the team are doing well, but I want to give myself for them. If they need me, I'm ready to do something.”

On Pereira’s impression on him
“He's a good coach. He gave confidence to everyone, I think that is really important, because he has the group together. For me, it's good if he stays a long time and I can do better with him – I have this thing in my head.
“Now I need to be back to see how he works, how I can help him, and the most important thing is he will be help me, that one is 100 per cent. He's a good coach. I think the next season we will be do better, and we'll do a good step.”
