Young Spanish Star Undergoes Medical Ahead of €15m Move
Arsenal are on the verge of finalizing their latest summer signing, with Valencia defender Cristhian Mosquera currently undergoing his medical in London on Tuesday morning. The 19-year-old center-back flew into the English capital after boarding a plane from Manises Airport at 7:30 AM CET, with the Gunners moving swiftly to secure his services.
Once his medical tests are completed, Mosquera is expected to put pen to paper on a long-term contract that will keep him at the Emirates until 2030. Reports over the weekend had already indicated that a deal was in place, with Arsenal agreeing to pay an initial €15 million, plus add-ons that could take the total fee close to €20 million.
A Rising Star with Huge Potential
Despite his young age, Mosquera has already established himself as a key figure in Valencia’s defense, missing just three La Liga matches over the past two seasons. His rapid development has caught the attention of top clubs across Europe, with data analytics firm SciSports ranking him as the second-most promising center-back in the world aged 21 or under—trailing only Barcelona’s Pau Cubarsí and Ajax’s Jorrel Hato, another Arsenal target.
Fabrizio Romano revealed that Mosquera turned down interest from a Serie A side to join Mikel Arteta’s project, underlining the growing appeal of Arsenal’s vision. With his Valencia contract set to expire in 2026, the Gunners have secured a relatively low-risk deal for a player with immense upside.
Part of a Busy Summer for Arsenal
Mosquera’s arrival signals another step in Arsenal’s ambitious transfer plans, with the club also closing in on deals for Chelsea’s Noni Madueke and Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyökeres. The North London side are clearly prioritizing young, high-potential talent as they look to build a squad capable of challenging for major honors.
Fans will be eager to see Mosquera in action, with his composure, athleticism, and defensive intelligence making him an exciting addition to Arteta’s backline. An official announcement from the club is expected imminently as the final details of the transfer are wrapped up.
