Wolves football chief Scott Sellars admits Brexit has helped them land Colombian Yerson Mosquera.
The sought after 20-year-old central defender moves to Molineux from Atletico Nacional on a five-year-deal, where he will link up with Bruno Lage's squad next month, as preparation for the 2021/22 Premier League season get underway.
By bringing Mosquera to Molineux, Wolves have utilised new government rules which allow access to young talent outside the EU, something that would not have been possible before Brexit.
Sellars added: “There's evidence of Colombian players who have come in and done very well in the Premier League over the last few years.
“Before Brexit, we couldn't go into South America unless it was to buy very established players. We would've had to wait for a player to spend time developing at another club, and for their value to go up substantially before we could bring them in.
“But under the new rules, we can bring these talented young players into the club earlier in their careers, develop them here by giving them minutes in the first-team and have them competing with our own players, and this way increasing their market value ourselves."
