Arsenal, Juventus scouts posted to watch Valencia teens Cristhian Mosquera and Jesus Vazquez | OneFootball

Arsenal scouts have been posted to check on Valencia teens Cristhian Mosquera and Jesus Vazquez.

Superdeporte reports Gunners representatives travelled to La Nucia, in the Alicante region, to watch Valencia youngsters Mosquera and Vazquez in action for Spain Under-19 against Austria.

The two defenders are enjoying breakthrough seasons at club level and were rewarded with starts in the European Championship qualifier last Wednesday.

The game ended all square after the hosts let a two-goal lead slip in the second half but centre-back Mosquera and left-back Vazquez impressed, even if the latter picked up a late yellow card. The youthful duo are making waves in La Liga and as many as 18 European clubs sent scouts to watch them in action at Camilo Cano stadium.

Officials from Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund were among those present. The scouts did not leave disappointed as the report adds Mosquera and Vazquez were outstanding, with their technical and physical attributes clear for all to see even though the result did not go Spain's way.

Vazquez, 19, is the more experienced of the two young defenders and wore the captain's armband for Spain U19.

Mosquera, meanwhile, is just 17 and all five of his senior Valencia appearances have come this season, including two starts in La Liga earlier this year. The towering defender usually features as a centre-back but filled in on the right flank in January's Copa del Rey last-16 clash against Atletico Baleares.
