Arsenal Intensify Pursuit of Mosquera and Others

Arsenal are prioritizing the signing of Valencia's 21-year-old centre-back Cristhian Mosquera, having had an initial €19 million bid rejected, with Valencia seeking closer to €35 million amid interest from other clubs. Mosquera, whose contract is in its final year, is open to joining Arsenal but may remain at Valencia if offered a new deal, as contract negotiations with his current club continue. Arsenal are also close to finalizing deals for Brentford midfielder Christian Norgaard and Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga. The club is actively seeking attacking reinforcements and bracing for possible squad departures as part of an ambitious recruitment drive. These efforts are aimed at building a squad capable of challenging for the Premier League title next season. Meanwhile, Thomas Partey's future at Arsenal is uncertain with contract negotiations at a standstill.
