Arsenal are gearing up to submit an improved offer for Valencia starlet Cristhian Mosquera, with a fresh bid in the region of €20-25 million expected in the coming days.

According to Superdeporte via Sport Witness, the Gunners are pushing hard to secure the services of the highly-rated 21-year-old centre-back, who has already agreed personal terms with the North London giants. Despite Valencia’s efforts to hold onto their defensive gem, Mosquera appears increasingly likely to swap La Liga for the Premier League this summer.

Arsenal Closing In on Defensive Reinforcement

Having seen their initial €14 million offer turned down, Arsenal are ready to return with a significantly improved bid that aligns more closely with Valencia’s valuation. The Spanish club have always held out for at least €20 million – a fee Arsenal are now prepared to meet to get the deal over the line.

Valencia have tried to convince Mosquera to sign a contract extension, even engaging in discussions with his agent. However, with new CEO Ron Gourlay yet to take full charge, talks have stalled – giving Arsenal the upper hand.

Mosquera Ready for Premier League Challenge

Mosquera, entering the final year of his contract, is said to be excited by the prospect of joining Mikel Arteta’s side, even with fierce competition for places at the Emirates. The presence of top-tier centre-backs like William Saliba hasn’t deterred the youngster, who is eager to prove himself on a bigger stage.

The Gunners view Mosquera as a long-term project – a young, athletic defender with the technical ability and composure suited to their high-tempo style. With personal terms already sorted and a fresh bid imminent, it now feels like a matter of “when” rather than “if” Arsenal seal the deal.

Stay tuned – Arsenal’s defensive revamp could be getting a major boost very soon.
