Arsenal target Cristhian Mosquera has appeared to confirm his Valencia departure, claiming he is leaving "home" to begin a "new era."

Valencia defender Cristhian Mosquera has been filmed arriving at a Spanish airport as he prepares to conclude his summer transfer to Arsenal. A breakthrough is understood to have been reached in negotiations between the two sides yesterday, and Arsenal will pay an initial £13m for the signature of the Spain Under-21 international.

Cristhian Mosquera has confirmed that he will leave Valencia this summer, as he nears a move to Arsenal. The Spanish centre-back is set to make the switch to north London in a reported €15million, which could rise to just under €20million with add-ons.
