Friday, July 25, 2025 - Arsenal have completed the signing of Cristhian Mosquera from Valencia in a deal worth at least £13m.
The Gunners struck an agreement for an initial fee of around
£13million (€15million) with the La Liga side, as Mosquera signs a
five-year deal in north London, with an option to extend by a further 12
months.
Mosquera has joined up with his new teammates in Singapore
for preseason after signing his deal.
The deal for the 21-year-old, who underwent a medical in
London, could rise with performance-related add-ons.
The defender said: "There's been a lot of hard work
behind all of this.
"It's an opportunity that came up and I couldn't let it
pass me by. I'm joining a historic, massive club. When you arrive here with
your family, you really feel the greatness of this place."
Discussing the deal via the club’s official
website, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said: "We're delighted to
welcome Cristhian to Arsenal. As a 21-year-old defender, Cristhian has already
performed consistently well with significant experience in La Liga.
“He is an intelligent player with good pace, who can play
centrally and on both sides.
“He is a young player with exciting talent and enormous
potential, who will fit well into our squad as we continue to prepare for next
season. Cristhian adds good quality to our squad, and we look forward to
working with him and making him feel at home with us.
“From all of us, we welcome Cristhian and his family to the
club.”
