The US wanted the Mosquito, but by the time they got round to putting it into production the war was over.

Well, that's the point. The Mosquito was good at everything it was used for. Even though it was designed as a light bomber. Just don't expect it to be a brilliant dogfighter too. The Yak-3 was certainly a good fighter, but that was the only thing it could do.
