Yerson Mosquera joins Villarreal on loan from Wolves

"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," said sporting director Matt Hobbs.

"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.

"He's going to a big club, in a good league, with big games, which should secure more international football for him, so it's almost a finishing school, before he comes back to compete here.

"It's a challenge - settling, getting used to a different league, a difference pace and type of football to the MLS. A player who can adapt and react quickly becomes a very well-rounded player, which will help us in the future.

"Yerson's extremely popular with the players here and they've been really impressed with how he's returned - on and off the pitch he's matured.

"He understands the role better and his ability with one versus one defending has improved, which the players have commented on. Everyone's been impressed by him, Gary, the players and the staff.

"We've been very happy with his development. Cincinnati were great with him and we now have a strong relationship with them. They have outstanding facilities and worked hard with him, so have played a big role in it.

"Our staff went to visit him regularly and the loan department watched his games, so he's had excellent support and knows he's important for our future. It's worked fantastically well.

"Now, go there, play, keep developing, and come back in the summer and we expect for him to compete for our team in the Premier League. The plan is the same, he had high potential when we signed him, and it's been enhanced with what he's done and the player he's grown into. Come back in pre-season and fight to get in Gary's team."
