Cristhian Mosquera: Arsenal confirm fifth summer signing as defender joins in £13m deal
Arsenal's summer spending spree continues as they have signed Cristhian Mosquera from Valencia. 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. The 21-year-old centre-back arrives with an excellent pedigree, and is recognised as one of the best young defenders in the Spanish top flight. He played in all but one league game for Valencia last term, chipping in with a singular goal against Leganes in a 2-0 win. The season prior, he missed just two games, with that his real breakthrough as a first-team regular at the Mestalla. He made 90 appearances for Valencia over a nine-year spell at the club. 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.'
