Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta faces a crucial decision regarding the future of Cristhian Mosquera, as the young defender garners significant interest from Fenerbahce. Sources confirm that the Turkish club is preparing to make a formal approach for the 22-year-old, who joined Arsenal from Valencia last summer for £13 million. His market value has since soared to around £30-35 million.

Despite not being a regular starter, Arteta holds Mosquera in high regard and aims to persuade him to remain at Arsenal. However, Fenerbahce appears determined to present an enticing offer before the transfer window closes. The competition intensifies with Al Hilal and Al Nassr also eyeing the defender, ready to enter negotiations with lucrative salary proposals.

Mosquera has had a promising start to the season, featuring in Arsenal's victories over Manchester City in the Community Shield and Coventry City in the Premier League. With the recent injury to William Saliba, he may earn more playing time, especially with the arrival of Ezri Konsa adding depth to the center-back position.

While Arsenal considers the possibility of a profitable transfer, the immediate priority remains ensuring adequate squad depth, particularly with Saliba's injury likely sidelining him for several months. Fenerbahce aims to leverage their resources to secure Mosquera, who has emerged as a key target for manager İsmail Karta in their pursuit of a high-potential defender.
