Cristhian Mosquera has seamlessly adapted to life at Arsenal, crediting Gabriel and William Saliba for their mentorship since his £13m move from Valencia. The 21-year-old defender has made 25 appearances for the Premier League leaders, solidifying his role in Arteta’s squad. "They’ve been like older siblings," Mosquera said of his teammates, highlighting their guidance in navigating the physically demanding Premier League. His performances have earned him a senior Spain national team call-up, marking a career milestone.

Despite a 2-0 Carabao Cup final loss to Manchester City, Arsenal remains nine points clear in the league, with ambitions to challenge for the title and progress in the Champions League.
