Mosquera, from Colombian parents, had the possibility of representing the Colombian National Team, but chose to play for Spain.
Even so, he will be the second Colombian in Arsenal, where goalkeeper Alexei Rojas is already militated. With his arrival, the presence of Colombian central defenders in the Premier is expanded: there is already Yerson Mosquera in the Wolves, precisely the club that Jhon Arias will arrive.
The number of Colombian soccer players in the English league continues to grow. Luis Díaz is a figure of Liverpool, Luis Sinisterra militates at the Bournemouth, and Crystal Palace has Jefferson Lerma and Daniel Muñoz.
Now Christian Mosquera joins, who with just 20 years and a promising profile, reinforces the defense of one of the most important teams in England.
