Arsenal have secured the signing of young Spanish defender Christian Mosquera, with a full verbal agreement now in place. The deal is considered done and is simply waiting for the formal steps to be completed.
The transfer fee is a guaranteed €15 million, with the total package, including add-ons, valued at under €20 million. Mosquera is set to sign a long-term contract with the Gunners. It’s understood that the player’s clear preference was always to join Arsenal, which helped push the deal over the line.
With the verbal agreement sealed, the next steps are a formality. Mosquera is scheduled to undergo his medical examination later this week, provided everything goes according to plan.
This signing adds a highly-rated young defender to Arsenal’s squad, continuing their strategy of building a team with a strong foundation for the future.
