Valencia defender Cristhian Mosquera has been spotted leaving training a few minutes ago as he prepares to leave Spain for the United Kingdom and join Arsenal.
The 21-year-old resumed pre-season preparations with the La Liga club last week as it appeared the deal to join the Gunners was stalling, but both clubs have now agreed to a move following talks over the weekend.
Arsenal will be signing Mosquera for €15 million, with less than €5m included as add-ons, and he will be having his medical this week from the look of things.
The Spain youth international will be joining the Emirates Stadium club to provide cover for William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes, and he will fancy his chances of getting regular playing opportunities.
