The Spanish defender is highly talented, and he has a bright future. It is no surprise that Arsenal want to sign him this summer. They are looking to build a formal squad for the future, and Mosquera is certainly one of the most talented young defenders in European football right now. It remains to be seen whether Arsenal follow up on their interest with an official proposal to get the deal done. The fact that the player is keen on the move will only serve as encouragement.
The opportunity to join a big club like Arsenal can be hard to turn down. They have been fighting for major trophies consistently, and they will be an attractive destination for most players. The 21-year-old Spanish defender will look to fight for major trophies with them in future.
Joining Arsenal would be a huge step in his career, and he would get to test himself at a high level. Regular football in England could accelerate his potential and bring out the best in him.
