Arsenal close in on £13m LaLiga star with medical expected this week as Mikel Arteta’s summer spending spree continues

Arsenal are finalising terms on a deal with Valencia for centre-back Cristhian Mosquera.

As Mail Sport reported on Sunday, talks advanced over the weekend and the 21-year old has agreed personal terms with Arsenal. 

He is expected to undergo a medical this week though the clubs are ironing out the final details on a £13 million fee with added bonus payments.

Arsenal have been looking to add a defender to compete with William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes.

Mosquera can play at both centre-back and right-back and will fill the gap in the squad left by the departure of Takehiro Tomiyasu, who mutually agreed to terminate his contract.

The Spain Under-21 international has made 90 appearances for Valencia and was a regular last season, playing the full match in 37 of the club’s 38 La Liga games.
