Arsenal could soon be announcing their second signing of the week, just days after agreeing a fee for Brentford captain Christian Norgaard.
The Gunners and the Bees came to an agreement for the Danish midfielder, who is now set for a medical ahead of being unveiled at the Emirates, provided they encounter no last-minute hiccups.
But the north London club already have their sights set on the next move.
Arsenal move to land Spain-based star after signing Brentford midfielder Christian Norgaard
According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal are heading towards their fourth signing of the summer, despite having yet to officially announce any business.
In confirming the Norgaard news, he reaffirmed that deals for both Kepa Arrizabalaga and Martin Zubimendi ranked at no.8 in FourFourTwo's list of the best defensive midfielders in the world right now have already been completed by Arsenal.
The fourth man through the doors could, therefore, be Valencia centre-back Cristhian Mosquera, with Romano confirming initial negotiations are already underway.
Despite still being just 20 years old, the Spanish centre-back was a key component of Los Ches, starting all but one of their 38 La Liga games last term.
Romano states that Mosquera is among the top targets for that position, with talks ongoing between Valencia and with the players representatives.
The journalist signed his post off with deal on, leaving Gunners in hope that theyll soon have another new face in their squad.
In FourFourTwos opinion, while Mosquera looks an incredibly promising young talent, it doesnt feel like centre-back is the main area of concern for the Gunners.
With both Gabriel and William Saliba in the side, plus Jakub Kiwior and Ben White as top-class cover, Mikel Arteta seems well stocked in defence.
Theres a worry that splashing funds on centre-back, plus a goalkeeper unlikely to start in front of David Raya immediately, is all taking resources away from what should be their main priority: a striker.
Mosquera is valued at 30m, according to Transfermarkt.
