Cristhian Mosquera is a Spanish centre-back who joined Arsenal from Valencia in the summer of 2025. Born in Alicante and developed through Valencia’s academy, he broke into La Liga as a teenager, won Olympic gold with Spain in 2024 and later made his senior international debut, before making the move to north London.
He is a strong, athletic defender who is at ease on the ball and aggressive in duels. His versatility, with the ability to cover at right-back as well as in the middle, makes him a useful option for Mikel Arteta alongside William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhães, Ben White and the rest of the back line, and he has pushed for minutes as he adapts to the English game.
