Cristhian Mosquera has joined Arsenal's defensive ranks ahead of the 2025/2026 season. The young Spanish stopper has joined the North London side from Valencia, where he grew up playing football. The English club had to pay £13 million + £3.5 million in bonuses for his services. From the point of view of Arsenal's management, his transfer was primarily an investment in the future. The defence is generally one of the strongest aspects of the squad. Mikel Arteta's. This is doubly true for the central defender position, where Cristhian Mosquera usually plays. At the heart of Arsenal's defence, they have formed one of the best stopper duos in world football at the moment William Saliba and Gabriel. Although both star defenders are huge competition for Mosquera, the young Spaniard will have the best footballing role models next to him, from whom he can learn and improve on a daily basis.
