Arsenal defender Cristhian Mosquera is reportedly ready to leave the club in the upcoming summer transfer window, with Everton among the sides showing strong interest in a loan move, according to emerging reports from Football365.
The centre-half, signed from Valencia in 2024, has struggled for consistent minutes this season despite making clear progress behind the scenes at London Colney. Mosquera has featured intermittently across domestic competitions, but with senior competition in defence fierce, the highly rated Spaniard is believed to be assessing his options ahead of a pivotal stage in his development.
Sources close to the situation suggest that ARSENAL are open to discussing a loan deal should the right proposal arrive—one that guarantees Mosquera regular Premier League football. Everton have already made their interest known, viewing Mosquera as an ideal fit for their defensive rebuild. Several other top-flight clubs are monitoring the situation, with the combination of top-flight experience, elite potential and athletic profile making him an attractive target.
Arsenal remain reluctant to sanction a permanent sale, instead preferring a loan that accelerates his growth while keeping him tied to the club long-term. However, reports indicate that Mosquera himself wants clarity on his place in the squad, and could push for an exit—temporary or otherwise—if assurances are not forthcoming.
The Gunners are expected to make additions in defence this summer, which could further complicate the Spaniard’s pathway to minutes. With Champions League football also returning to the Emirates, squad rotation opportunities will exist, but competition will remain intense.
Why Mosquera should push for an Arsenal exit sooner rather than later
For Mosquera, the decision is becoming increasingly urgent. Centre-backs need regular high-level minutes to develop the positional intelligence and decision-making required at elite level. Remaining a bit-part option at Arsenal risks slowing that progression.
A loan to a club like Everton represents an invaluable opportunity: Premier League starts, tactical responsibility, and exposure to high-pressure defensive situations. Those experiences cannot be replicated from the bench. If ARSENAL sign another defender—something widely expected—Mosquera could find himself even further down the pecking order.
There is also the matter of timing. His stock is high now; coaches across the league see an emerging talent with enormous upside. But a season of inactivity could alter that perception quickly. By pushing for a summer move, Mosquera can control his trajectory rather than letting squad dynamics dictate it.
Ultimately, if he wants to return to Arsenal as a genuine starter—rather than a promising reserve—he may first need to step away.
