π¨ ππππππππ: Arsenal in Talks to Sign Christian Mosquera as New Centre-Back β€οΈπ€.
Arsenal have stepped up their defensive reinforcement plans as talks are now underway to sign highly-rated Valencia centre-back Christian Mosquera. The Gunners have identified the 19-year-old as a top priority this summer, with negotiations already in motion.
Mosquera has impressed with his mature performances in La Liga, emerging as one of the brightest young defenders in Spain. The Spanish youth international made 32 appearances last season, showcasing exceptional positioning, aerial strength, and composure well beyond his years. Arsenal view him as a perfect long-term fit for Mikel Artetaβs backline, with his ability to play both in a back four and back three system.
Valencia are aware of the interest and could be forced to sell due to their financial situation, though they value the defender highly. Arsenal, however, are confident of striking a deal, especially with Mosquera said to be prioritising a move to North London, viewing the Emirates as the ideal place to continue his development.
Sources close to the player confirm that Mosquera is excited by the prospect of playing in the Premier League under Arteta, and the chance to join a project built around young talent. While other clubs have shown interest, including teams from Italy and Germany, Arsenal currently lead the race.
If the deal progresses smoothly, Mosquera could become Arsenalβs second major defensive addition of the window, following their active pursuit of reinforcements after a demanding 2024/25 campaign. Arteta and Edu are working swiftly to ensure the squad is well-prepared for another title challenge and Champions League run.
More updates expected in the coming days as talks continue β but Arsenal fans can be optimistic that another exciting young talent may soon be donning the red
and white.
