Youngster Yerson Mosquera made the move to Molineux in the summer of 2021, joining from Atletico Nacional on a five-year-deal.

Unfortunately, injury restricted the defender to just one solitary first-team appearance during his debut year at Molineux – a Carabao Cup tie with Tottenham Hotspur at Molineux – but the future looks bright for Mosquera. 

The defender arrived at Wolves having made his professional debut in 2020, where he quickly became a breakout star in the Colombian top-flight. During his first full season at the Medellin-based club, the right footed centre-back helped his team to top the league standings, while playing regularly in the backline as part of Nacional’s Copa Libertadores campaign.

As a youth international, who has spent time training with the Colombian national team, Mosquera is a big hope for the future of his country’s defence.

While at Molineux, that injury against Tottenham came just nine minutes in, but Mosquera retuned later in the season to feature regularly for James Collins’ under-23s side, who he helped to PL2 promotion.

During 2023, Mosquera had a year to remember. After heading out on his first loan move from Wolves in the February to join MLS side FC Cincinnati, the Colombian was a regular in defence as he helped guide Cincinnati to the Eastern Conference title, before earning his senior international debut.
