The Wolves are in search of reinforcements following Yerson Mosquera’s ACL injury, with former Newcastle United stalwart Paul Dummett and ex-Crystal Palace defender James Tomkins being considered as potential signings.
Mosquera’s unfortunate injury adds to the woes of manager Gary O’Neil, who had high hopes for the young defender after a successful start to the season. With no immediate options available in the transfer market, Wolves are left to explore free-agent options to cover for Mosquera’s absence.
Among the potential replacements, James Tomkins and Paul Dummett are being looked at due to their vast experience in the Premier League. While Dummett offers versatility by being able to cover at left-back and centre-half, Tomkins may be a better fit tactically as a right-footer like Mosquera.
Both players have a wealth of experience in the English top-flight, but it is likely that neither would feature regularly if signed by Wolves. Instead, Wolves may give young talent Santiago Bueno a chance to step up in Mosquera’s absence, after Bueno replaced him in the last match against Aston Villa.
Wolves boss Gary O’Neil expressed his concerns about losing Mosquera for an extended period of time and emphasized the importance of finding a suitable replacement. As they navigate through the challenges of injuries and squad limitations, Wolves will have to make strategic decisions to maintain their performance in the Premier League.
