The newspaper also said that Mosquera officially said goodbye to his teammates on Monday.
“I was a bit sad because my whole life was attached to this place, but football was like that. Now it is the beginning of a new chapter. A little excited, but there is no shortage of regret.”
Although not revealed the next destination, all signs show that Arsenal will be a new stop of the Spanish young star. In the last 2 seasons, Mosquera had 73 appearances in La Liga, impressed by the solid gameplay, the ability to read smart situations and rare calmness in a young player.
Arsenal now needs to add the depth of the defense, especially the rotating plan for the duo William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes. The recruitment of Mosquera will be a reasonable step, especially when coach Mikel Arteta is aimed at a battle season on many fronts.
Notably, Mosquera is not the only rookie of the “Gunners” this summer. The Emirates team has completed the Kepa Arrizabalaga, Christian Norgaard and Martin Zubimendi. In addition, they are also approaching nearly two blocks of blockbuster contracts: Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon and Noni Madueke from Chelsea.
With quality additions in all three routes, Arsenal is gradually perfecting the squad to realize the dream of winning the Premier League, and more.
