Arsenal’s transfer activity is gaining serious momentum as several key moves are now finalized:
- Martín Zubimendi — The deal is officially completed. The midfielder is fully secured as part of Mikel Arteta’s plans.
- Kepa Arrizabalaga — Agreement is fully in place. The goalkeeper is committed and locked in for the upcoming season.
- Christian Nørgaard — This transfer is wrapped up and officially done.
With these midfield and goalkeeper targets secured, manager Mikel Arteta has now shifted his full attention toward reinforcing the defensive line. The primary focus at this stage is on Cristian Mosquera, the highly rated young centre-back from Valencia.
According to sources close to the negotiations, Mosquera has already given his verbal approval after being thoroughly impressed by Arsenal’s sporting project and future ambitions. His response was clear and enthusiastic:
“I completely understand the project — I’m ready to be part of it.”
Arsenal’s recruitment strategy for this window includes bolstering depth at centre-back, ensuring adequate cover for injuries, rotations, and tactical flexibility. Mosquera fits this profile perfectly — a player who is not only young and brimming with potential but also offers versatility across the defensive line. Crucially, he has demonstrated strong eagerness to make the move to North London.
The expectation now is that negotiations will accelerate as Arsenal look to finalize terms and bring Mosquera in as the next key addition to Arteta’s evolving squad
