Arsenal defender Cristhian Mosquera is grateful to his "big siblings" Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba for helping him settle in the Premier League.
Mosquera joined Arsenal from Valencia last summer, and has played 25 times for the Gunners across all competitions.
He has made 14 starts, playing a part in five clean sheets.
Mosquera made his debut for Spain last week, helping the European champions to a 3-0 win over Serbia.
And he credited Arsenal's first-choice defensive pairing of Gabriel and Saliba as one of the big reasons behind his success this term.
"I'm very happy in London and I've settled in much quicker than I thought I would," he said, as quoted by Europa Press and reported by ESPN.
"We all know the Premier League is a very physically demanding league, and I was already aware of that; many people had told me that, given my playing style, I'd be a good fit for the Premier League.
"I think that when the time came for me to step up and prove myself, I did well.
"From day one, the two of them [Gabriel and Saliba] have been by my side, giving me advice and always trying to look after me, like parents, like older siblings.
"I'm very grateful to them. They are two of the best centre-backs in the world, and it's a pleasure and a privilege to train with them and watch them play every weekend."
Arsenal, who lost to Manchester City in the EFL Cup final before the international break, are nine points clear at the top of the Premier League.
Mikel Arteta's team are also into the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
"In recent years, Arsenal hasn't quite achieved what it set out to do, but I think we're ready this year," Mosquera said.
"We know we have the chance to win titles. We're going to do everything we can to bring joy to the fans. In the Champions League, I think we're doing pretty well this year – we're in the quarter-finals now – and hopefully we can go further and win it."

You don't have his type in ur team for now, may be tomorrow and you should learn how to speak good of some one,, okay?
I have my opinion and i do state that he is only 21. He will learn from Saliba and Gabriel for C/B position, and Timber for R/B. I didn’t say anything about him playing now. READ!!!!

You have only seen Konate in a Magazine next time stop smoking Glue
I personally would much sooner have Mosquero in the team than Konate. He will walk away from Liverpool this summer. Liverpool will have been ripped off by around 5 million.

Average player cannot play for European Champions Spain
True mate and he only cost Arsenal around 14 ml. He is only 21 versatile and can play right back and centre back. He has represented Spain at all youth levels. Berta has got us a bargain priced quality player.
