Mosquera spotted in London ahead of imminent Arsenal move

Valencia centre-back Cristhian Mosquera flew to London early on Tuesday morning to undergo a medical and finalise his transfer to Arsenal.

The two clubs are finalising an agreement that will see the Mestalla club receive a fixed fee of €18 million, with a further €4 million in add-ons. "Let's see how it all works out, the club has to speak first," he told 'Deportes COPE Valencia' at Manises airport.

Born to Colombian parents, and an Spain Under-21 international, Mosquera started 37 of Valencia's 38 La Liga games last season, completing 36 of those matches. He has been a mainstay under both Ruben Baraja, who started the season as coach, and Carlos Corberan, who finished it.

Born in 2004, Mosquera joined Valencia's academy in 2016. In 2021, at the age of 17, he made his first-team debut under Jose Bordalas in the Copa del Rey against Atletico Baleares, and later in La Liga against Sevilla.
