Why Arsenal are yet to announce deal for Mosquera

Reports on why Arsenal are yet to announce Cristhian Mosquera their new player have emerged.

The reports claim the delay in the announcement is due to ‘issues’ relating to the defender’s medical.

Recall that transfer update a few days ago claimed that the North London side have agreed a deal with Valencia for the 21-year-old defended, who the Gunners will sign for an initial fee of around £13m.

Mosquera departed Valencia a few days ago after which he was spotted at an airport to fly to North London.

During the unveiling of former Chelsea star Noni Madueke as Arsenal’s newest signing on Friday, the Gunners appeared to accidentally leak Mosquera’s signing.

A picture of the Spain international being interviewed in a Gunners kit was shared on Getty Images before it was deleted.

Teamnewsandtix – via afcstuff has now reported that the delay in Mosquera’s announcement is bothering on ‘issues’ that arose during his medical, and those complications must be sorted out before an announcement can be made.

However, the nature of the problems were not made public due to medical confidentiality reasons.

The 21-year-old is expected to be announced as Arsenal’s fifth signing this summer window, following Madueke, Christian Norgaard, Martin Zubimendi and Kepa Arrizabalaga.
