Cristhian Mosquera is very close to leaving Valencia to embark on a new stage in England. The 21-year-old center-back is set to be the new reinforcement for Arsenal, which has strongly committed to his signing for the upcoming season. The discussions between both parties have reached a successful conclusion, and barring any unexpected turn of events, the defender will head to the Premier League in the coming days.
Mosquera: imminent signing for Arsenal
The London club, under the management of Mikel Arteta, has shown persistent interest, acknowledging the potential of the Colombian defender who was raised in Valencia's youth academy. The terms of the transfer are very advanced: Valencia will receive €18 million guaranteed, in addition to another four million based on individual and collective objectives. A significant deal for a club in need of liquidity.
The player's stance has been decisive in speeding up the operation. Mosquera has expressed his desire from the outset to join an ambitious project in a top-tier league. His eagerness to become a 'gunner' facilitated the final details and helped Valencia approve the central defender's departure, who was one of the team's most reliable players last season.
The Arsenal sporting director believes his addition will strengthen a defense aiming for an improvement in quality. Mosquera will arrive in London with the aspiration to establish himself in one of Europe's top clubs and to continue a progression that has attracted the interest of several elite teams. The agreement could be made official in the next few hours, and the defender would immediately join the pre-season under Arteta's guidance.
