Arsenal is flying to Singapore for the first war of Asia’s preseason tour as they are ready for the 2025-26 Premier League season
Arsenal has confirmed the travel force for the Asian preseason tour. And the looming new signature Christian Mosquera is not included. The Spanish U21 International Defender arrived in London earlier this week and completed a £16.5 million switch from Boyhood Club Valencia to the Emirates.
Mosquera received medical tests on Wednesday, but Arsenal is still waiting for the deal to be officially ratified after exchanging all related paperwork with its LA La Liga counterparts.
Mosquera has already completed his club media duties, and images of the 21-year-old centre-back from the Arsenal training kit have already been leaked online.
However, Arsenal couldn’t get a contract in time for the talented defender to travel to Singapore with Mikel Arteta’s team, but he was able to join with his new teammate at a later date.

Gunners will pay the first £13 million fee, up to £3.5 million on potential add-ons. The new £52 million recruit recruit has not travelled after being given a three-week break from Arteta after participating in the Club World Cup with newly crowned world champion Chelsea.
Madueke is scheduled to begin full team training with Arsenal in the week that began on August 4th ahead of the Gunners’ final two preseason friendly against Villarreal and the Athletic Club at Emirates Stadium.
Fabio Vieira, who appears to be poised to leave Arsenal this summer, was given an extended break after appearing at Porto at the Club World Cup.
Currently managed by former Arteta assistant coach Carlos Questa, Palma is recognized as interested in the 25-year-old offensive midfielder.
Reiss Nelson is traveling with the group despite his interest in re-signing him following his Lone Spell at Craven Cottage last season.
Nelson remains in his current contract with Arsenal, signed in 2023 for two years, with gunners also offering a one-year extension option.
Albert Sambi Loconga is traveling to the Far East following a loan spell with Sevilla, which also praises Arsenal goalkeeper Carl Hein, but he is highly thought to be able to transfer this summer.
Hein is currently suffering a thumb injury, but Arsenal is about to secure permanent sales this summer, following the success of his loan spell in Spain with the real Balladrid.
New signatures Martin Zubimendi, Christian Norgaard and Kepa Arrizabalaga all traveled to Singapore. There, Arsenal will face AC Milan and Newcastle, heading to Hong Kong, where they will face Tottanham on the final friendly of the tour.
Arsenal wanted to sign sports CP striker Victor Gyoker before departing for Asia, but the stubbornness of the Portuguese club during ongoing negotiations delayed the relocation.
With 15-year-old Wonderkid Max Dowman and 2009-born starlet Marli Salmon on the senior team, there is positive news as Gabriel Jesus continues to recover from knee surgery. Gabriel Magalges also travelled to recover from hamstring surgery.
