Cristhian Mosquera is on his way to Singapore to join Arsenal's preseason tour after the club finalised terms with Valencia, sources have told ESPN.

Mikel Arteta’s side began their 2025 pre-season tour with a 1-0 victory over AC Milan at Singapore’s National Stadium, courtesy of a second-half strike from Bukayo Saka. The game marked first appearances for summer arrivals Martin Zubimendi, Christian Nørgaard and Kepa Arrizabalaga, as Arsenal fielded a largely familiar line-up.

Arsenal have departed for their pre-season tour to Asia without Viktor Gyökeres as talks continue with Sporting Lisbon over a move for the striker.

Arsenal are on the verge of signing Viktor Gyokeres, with the Swedish striker expected in London on Friday to finalise his move from Sporting CP. The Gunners have agreed a £63.8 million (€73.5m) deal and plan to integrate him into their pre-season tour in Singapore.

Breakout starlets Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri are, unsurprisingly, on the plane, while plenty of buzz has been generated over 15-year-old Max Dowman. Declan Rice is among those to wax lyrical over the young creative midfielder, who has trained with the first team and is expected to make his senior debut next season.

Mikel Arteta has taken a 30-man Arsenal squad to Asia, with the Gunners beginning preparations for what is another huge campaign for both manager and club.
