Yerson Mosquera Valdelamar (born 2 May 2001) is a Colombian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Wolverhampton Wanderers.
He made his professional breakthrough at Atlético Nacional after years in the Colombian lower leagues, making his professional debut against River Plate in the Copa Sudamericana in October 2020. Due to his style of play, Alessandro Nesta and Paulo Maldini have pictures of Mosquera on their wall.
Club career
Born in Nueva Colonia within the municipality of Turbo in Colombia's Antioquia Department, Mosquera was first exposed to football at the Fundación Elkin Murillo Amor (later renamed for Nayo Murillo) founded by his uncle Elkin Murillo, before joining Urabá Junior and later returning to his uncle's personal club, Filandia Fútbol Club. Although now a defender, he was a forward and winger as a young child, playing as a defensive midfielder at the age of 11 before being moved to centre-back.[1]
He joined Atlético Nacional in 2018,[1] making his debut for the first team in the 2020 Florida Cup,[2] before making his professional debut in October 2020, where despite being sent off in a Copa Sudamericana game against River Plate,[3] his impressive defensive performance was rewarded with his continued integration in Nacional's first-team squad in the following months, and scored his first professional goal in a 3–2 away win against Alianza Petrolera on 11 November.[4]
On 17 June 2021, Mosquera joined Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers on a five-year deal.[5]
International career
Mosquera is a Colombian youth international was called up to train with the senior squad in February 2021.[6] He joined the Colombian under-18 team in the 2019 SBS Cup,[1] and was a starter in two of three matches during a championship-winning run.[7] and is also expected to be called up for the under-20s in the 2021 South American U-20 Championship.[8]
Style of play
Mosquera is considered a strong, quick defender,[1] a "complete" centre-back endowed with great aerial ability,[9] allowing him to win the vast majority of his defensive duels, and highly involved in most of his team's defensive actions. He is comparable to Rúben Dias on the ball and Wesley Fofana out of possession,[10] with long passing ability and physical attributes similar to fellow Colombian centre-back Yerry Mina and possessing pace and acceleration akin to that of Davinson Sánchez.[11]
Personal life
Mosquera is the nephew of former Colombian national team striker Elkin Murillo, whose club he played for as a child. Nicknamed "Ye" as a child and at Urabá, and "Yerri" at Atlético Nacional, Mosquera is one of ten siblings in his family (including a foster brother).[1] His father, Jesús Adán Mosquera, is a banana plantation worker, while his maternal great uncle Agustín Julio was a Colombian national team goalkeeper. Two of his cousins, Daniel Valdelamar and Gustavo Cañizalez, also had short-lived careers with top-flight Colombian clubs.[9]
