Time to get those flight trackers back out! Impending Arsenal signing Cristhian Mosquera is flying to Singapore to join up with his new teammates on their pre-season tour, according to the Athletic.
The Gunners have spent the past few days finalising a move for the young defender after it was expected the deal would be officially announced late last week.
He is now en route to Singapore having taken a flight from Heathrow Airport this morning, meaning he will be ready to join up with the Arsenal squad ahead of tomorrow's tie against AC Milan.

Mosquera flew to London last week with the anticipation his move would be announced in time for him to travel with the squad to Singapore on Saturday. However, the deal wasn't confirmed, meaning he had to wait.
He spent the past few days finalising his move from boyhood club Valencia and has been given the green light to join his new teammates in Asia. Mosquera took a flight from Heathrow earlier today.
However, there is still yet to be an official announcement from Arsenal or Valencia, meaning that will likely come while the defender is still in the air, or once he has landed. Given the lack of confirmation and the 13-hour flight from England to Singapore, he is unlikely to feature in tomorrow's pre-season opener against AC Milan.
Mosquera will probably have to wait to make his Gunners debut, but it will still be a blessing for Mikel Arteta to have his new addition at his disposal for ties against Newcastle and Tottenham.
It will also allow him time to settle in with his new teammates before they return to England to face Villarreal and Athletic Bilbao as their final preparations for the new Premier League campaign.
Fans will just be glad to see that this signing is finally close. Mosquera flying to Singapore not only means that his announcement should be imminent, but he should also get some chances to play with for his new side before they begin their title-chasing season.
