Cristhian Mosquera said that he felt “the greatness” of Arsenal and judged the opportunity to join the hopes of the title of Premier League insane after having finished a move of 13 million pounds Sterling at the Gunners in Valencia.
The 21 -year -old is the fifth signature of Arsenal from the summer transfer window and agreed with a five -year contract, initially to adapt to the central defenders of first choice Gabriel and William Saliba in 2025/26.
“I want to improve myself, which will create competition within the team,” Mosquera told Arsenal. “There has been a lot of hard work behind it.
“This is an opportunity that arose and I could not let myself go. I join a historic and massive club. ”
Statistics of Cristhian Mosquera
International of Spanish under 21, Mosquera won a gold medal at the 2024 Olympic Games before playing every minute of all the Valencia League games, except one, contributing to its total of 90 appearances for the club and the record of the more minutes by a player under the age of 21 in the five major leagues in Europe since 2023/24.
This reliability will appeal to the manager of Arsenal Mikel Arteta after Jurrien Timber missed the entire 2023/24 campaign and was hampered by minor problems in 2024/25, a season during which Gabriel was not available for 17 games and Ben White was excluded for 27 games, including knee surgery in November.
Arteta would have had a great interest in Dean Huijsen before the Spanish international left Bournemouth for Real Madrid and wanted Crystal Palace and Marc Guehi to England, but both would have cost much more and wanted to be the first choices, while Mosquera was only one year on his valence affair.
“Cristhian has already performed well with a significant experience in Laliga,” said Arteta, while sports director Andrea Berta called Mosquera, who is also eligible for Colombia, “one of the strongest young defenders in European football” and “an important signature for our future”.
“He is an intelligent player with a good rhythm, who can play in the center and on both sides,” added Arteta.
