Wolves chief Matt Hobbs says Craig Dawson's arrival will allow Yerson Mosquera to move out on-loan.

Dawson signed today from West Ham.

Hobbs said, "In my first interview, I talked about players who know the league are important. Personalities are important. We lost a few leaders in the summer with John [Ruddy], Conor [Coady] and Romain [Saiss].

“We're bringing another leader into the group, which is always a positive, but if you look at our centre backs, they're all relatively young, not just in age, but also the number of games they've played in English league football, let alone the Premier League.

“The amount of games Craig has played, he can be a foil for those guys on and off the pitch. He's going to be a very good player for our squad and will be someone our young centre halves will learn a lot from and will help develop those players.

“We want to get Yerson [Mosquera] out on loan, to start getting some games. The manager has real belief in him and the tools he has. We brought him in, and he was unlucky with his two hamstring injuries, and then it wasn't a great time to drop an inexperienced defender back into the team.

“He's been a victim of circumstances, so for us it's important to get him out on loan, so the fact we bring Craig in to be the player he'll be, but also help the defenders in the building and allow Yerson to go out on loan is great for the football club."
