The 20-year-old defender has already accumulated 73 LaLiga appearances over the past two seasons, establishing himself as a promising talent. Mosquera, a Spain youth international who is also eligible to represent Colombia, has attracted interest from several clubs, including Bundesliga side RB Leipzig.
Despite Valencia's attempts to renew Mosquera's contract, Arsenal appear to be in a strong position to finalize the deal. Sources suggest that negotiations are progressing over a 20 million euros transfer fee, with Mosquera having reportedly agreed to personal terms with the Gunners.
Arsenal's defensive depth has been under scrutiny, particularly with William Saliba frequently linked with moves away and Gabriel Magalhaes needing reliable cover. Jakub Kiwior, who stepped in for much of last season, could be involved in further transfers as Arsenal seek to balance their backline. Meanwhile, other defensive players like Riccardo Calafiori, Jurrien Timber, and Ben White have predominantly operated at full-back roles.
The Gunners had also pursued youngster Dean Huijsen before his move to Real Madrid, but are now focusing on closing deals for Kepa Arrizabalaga, Christian Norgaard, and Martín Zubimendi as they aim to strengthen key areas of the squad.
