It appears Cristhian Mosquera has already merged with several of his Arsenal teammates, despite the transfer not yet officially announced.
A few days ago, a photo was leaked online at 21-year-old Gunners Training Apparel, which appeared to show the 21-year-old’s command media duties.
According to ESPN, the defender is expected to join from Valencia on a £17 million move, including add-ons, and SkySports has since reported that he is already in Singapore.
Another online clue suggests that Mosquera to Arsenal is a completed transaction
Another clue has emerged on social media that appears to be effectively confirming that Mosquera is joining Arsenal.
The X-account of the official supporters club of Gunners in Malaysia has uploaded an image showing the 21-year-old in Singapore taking photos with several of his fellow Spanish people already playing at the North London Club.
Mosquera will be added to the already essential centre-back selection for Arsenal
With Mosquera already in the Far East and his transfer now promoted to the worst secret position of football, could he make his unofficial Arsenal debut against Newcastle on Sunday?
His impending additives have made Arteta even more spoiled for his choice at centre-back, where he already has an unfair partnership between William Saliva and Gabriel Magalges, and Charles Watts told Catchoffside that Gunner is “getting him at a very good price for the highly rated young defender seen by some other good sides across Europe.
Even if the youngster is not a regular starter at Emirates Stadium at first, the need for team rotation is something that should see him enjoy plenty of game time next season.
What Arsenal fans are waiting for now is an official announcement from the club, and it appears that Mosquera’s acquisition has been confirmed after his encounter with Arteta’s Spanish terms.
