A member of the defensive ranks at La Liga outfit Valencia is the subject of an ongoing pursuit on the part of Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal.
That’s according to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, who points towards Cristhian Mosquera as the player in question.
Stopper Mosquera, for his part, is fresh off another impressive individual season on the books of the aforementioned Valencia.
Despite his tender years – the Spaniard is just 20 – he featured from the off in all but one of Los Che’s La Liga fixtures.
Along the way, Mosquera was widely hailed for his efforts on both sides of the ball, befitting of a player much his senior.
In turn, this week, it should not come as a major surprise to hear of the Spanish youth international positioning himself on the transfer wishlist of one of the continent’s leading clubs.
As per a report from journalist Fabrizio Romano:
‘Arsenal are in active talks to sign Christian Mosquera as new centre back, with initial negotiations already ongoing. He’s among top targets for centre back position, talks ongoing with Valencia and player side.’
