3 reasons why Cristhian Mosquera would be a smart signing for Arsenal

2. Fits in well

As Arsenal look to build a defensive backline that is of similar quality, ability and playing style, Mosquera should fit right in to the side.

He has been regarded as being a similar player to Gabriel Magalhaes in terms of being a 'passive' defender and often winning the ball when going for it. He rarely commits fouls and prefers to clear up loose balls, but does put in tackles when necessary.

Mosquera has also tended to drift into midfield to help his side play out the back. Saliba often did so last season, helping kickstart moves rather than passing round the defence.

If the Spaniard can implement these actions when joining Arsenal, he would be able to come into the side and work well alongside his defensive partner, as well as offering the same as who he stands in for.
