The Curious Case of Wolverhampton Wanderers – FoulThrowFootball

The midfielder links up with the National League North side for a second time having spent the second half of last season with Wolves.

During that spell in 2023/24, Banaras made 10 appearances for Dan McNamara’s side in all competitions.

Wolves fans were left very impressed by the debut of Yerson Mosquera against Arsenal.

The central defender finally made his first appearance in the English top-flight on Saturday, starting alongside Toti Gomes at the Emirates Stadium.

Despite coming up against a team that is set to contend for the Premier League title, and were the second-highest goalscorers last season, Mosquera put in a solid display for Wolves.

It was Toti who actually looked like the man making his debut, with the star looking uncomfortable in possession at times.

But Mosquera looked assured, and there was one thing in particular about his game that went down really well.

He may have been making his debut in the Premier League, but Mosquera relished the occasion and showed physicality throughout the contest.

The youngster had a very good battle with Kai Havertz, who is an established Premier League player who enjoyed a brilliant season in 2023/24 for Arsenal.

Havertz did score against Wolves in the 2-0 win. But the German quickly discovered he was in for a battle with Mosquera.

He made three tackles in the game, including one very important one in the first-half to stop an Arsenal breakaway down their left side.

There were just a couple of moments where Mosquera needed to be careful, such as when he tangled with Havertz on the floor and held him down, and also when he tried to move Gabriel Jesus out of the way when Wolves had a free-kick.

He was perhaps a little lucky he didn’t get in any trouble, and hopefully he will learn to control his emotions going forwards, but the signs are very promising.
