Mosquera joins Villarreal on loan
- Published
Wolves have allowed centre-back Yerson Mosquera to join Spanish club Villarreal on loan for the rest of the 2023-24 season.
The 22-year-old Colombian has recently returned to Molineux following a loan spell in the USA with Major League Soccer side FC Cincinnati.
Wanderers sporting director Matt Hobbs said: "Yerson had a fantastic loan at Cincinnati, being one of the highest performing centre-backs in the league.
"What we've seen really excites us for next season. It was a difficult decision, as we could have kept him around, but we wanted him to get a bit more football week in, week out, ready to come back and fight for a starting spot next season."
Mosquera has played only nine minutes of first-team football for Wolves since joining in the summer of 2021, going off injured in the opening stages of his debut in a League Cup tie against Tottenham.
The defender, who has been an unused substitute in Wolves' past three matches, could make his debut for Villarreal against Barcelona in La Liga on Saturday.
