Cristhian Mosquera Trains with Arsenal After Completing Move from Valencia (Photos)

Cristhian Mosquera has officially begun training with Arsenal in Singapore ahead of their pre-season fixtures. The 21-year-old Spanish defender completed his transfer from Valencia earlier this week and is now fully integrated into the squad's pre-season preparations.

Arsenal's manager, Mikel Arteta, has expressed confidence in Mosquera's potential, praising his intelligence, pace, and capacity to perform both as a centre-back and on the right side of defence. While not expected to feature as a starter immediately, Mosquera will contribute valuable depth to a restructured defensive line.

On the field, Mosquera has already participated in multiple training sessions during Arsenal’s Singapore tour, though he has yet to be included in a matchday squad. A behind-the-scenes feature highlights his engagement with his new teammates and first glimpse in club training attire.

The transfer was finalized for an estimated fee of around £13–16.5 million, with Mosquera signing a five-year contract. In an emotional moment, his father was filmed tearing up while watching the Arsenal welcome video, underscoring the personal significance of the move.
