London club Arsenal have taken a firm stance regarding the future of defender Cristhian Mosquera. According to reports, the club has no intention of considering any offers for the 22-year-old Spaniard before the transfer window closes.
The player has attracted interest from three clubs: Turkish side Fenerbahce, as well as Saudi teams Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr. Reports indicate that the Turkish club is preparing a formal bid, while the Saudi representatives are also closely monitoring the situation.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta highly values Mosquera's versatility, as he is capable of playing both at centre-back and on the flank. Given the team's defensive injury concerns, the manager is keen to retain the player within the squad.
The defender is currently valued at approximately £35 million. Mosquera joined Arsenal last summer from Spanish side Valencia.
