Arsenal Defender Mosquera May Change Nationality: What Is Known.
Possible Transfer to the Colombian National Team
According to The Sun: Kristian Mosquera may change his international allegiance from the Spanish national team to Colombia after impressive performances in the Premier League for Arsenal.
The player is the captain of the Spanish U19 team, but so far has not been given the chance to play in the first team under coach Luis de la Fuente.
Kristian Mosquera is the captain of the Spanish U19 team, but he has no opportunity to play in the senior team.Alamy GettyMosquera was born in Alicante, Spain, to a Colombian family. He holds dual citizenship and joined Arsenal for £13 million in July this year.
Since the transfer, he has played four matches for Arsenal in all competitions this season, keeping three clean sheets.
Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta emphasized that he is "very impressed" with Mosquera's performances, which are also supported by fans and experts.
The player trained with the Spanish national team in September but has not yet played any matches in the first team.
Fans are hopeful that Mosquera's debut is near, especially after Real defender Dinu Huysen's injury, but his place will be taken by Athletic's central defender Aymeric Laporte.
Now Colombia offers him an opportunity to join the senior team, as they were previously unable to acquire him.
In the Spanish hierarchy, there are several defenders ahead of Mosquera, including Huysen, Pau Cubars, Deni Vivyan, Robin Le Normand, and Laporte.
When asked about the possibility of changing allegiance to Colombia, he said: "What depends on me is to work day by day, and the doors will open."
The Spanish football federation is optimistic that Mosquera will continue to feature for Spain, believing that "he has a great future with La Roja."
The situation surrounding Mosquera reflects the challenges many talents face in international football when choosing between different national teams. If the player gets a chance to represent Colombia, it could be a significant step in his career as he will receive more opportunities in international matches.
At the same time, the actions of the football federations of both countries may significantly influence Mosquera's decision, which is why interest in him continues to grow among fans and experts.
