  WHAT HAPPENED?

  The Gunners are keen to bolster their defensive options this summer and have landed on Valencia star Cristhian Mosquera, according to David Ornstein. A €20m (£17m) move is being discussed, with plenty of interest from elsewhere in the Spanish youth international.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Mosquera has been at Valencia since the age of 12 and made his first-team debut in January 2022. He played 41 games last season and has put himself on the radar of several top European clubs, of which Arsenal are one. The Gunners are keen to add depth in the position, with William Saliba and Gabriel expected to continue their partnership as first choices, but reportedly missed out on a deal for Dean Huijsen.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Mosquera has just one year left on his contract at Valencia, so the club will likely be happy to sell if the right valuation is met. He played 90 minutes in 37 of their 38 La Liga matches last term.
