Arsenal step up their interest in 18-year-old La Liga talent

According to recent reports, Real Valladolid’s talented fullback Ivan Fresneda is attracting attention from Arsenal as a potential transfer target.

The 18-year-old Spaniard has emerged as one of the most promising young right-backs in Europe, with the added ability to seamlessly transition into midfield during his team’s possession phase – a characteristic that perfectly aligns with Arsenal’s preferred style of play.

German outlet Bild has revealed that Arsenal has already made a substantial and tempting offer for Fresneda, signalling their keen interest in securing his services ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window.

This comes after previous speculation linking the young defender with a move in January, which ultimately didn’t come to fruition. Real Valladolid, now looking towards the future, seem open to potential negotiations.

In addition to Arsenal’s pursuit, Borussia Dortmund from the Bundesliga is also reportedly monitoring Fresneda’s situation closely.

This suggests that the talented teenager has caught the attention of multiple top clubs, further enhancing his status as one of Europe’s brightest emerging talents.

To be honest I do not know too much about Ivan Fresneda but according to all the reports he is supposed to be something special and Mikel Arteta does have a good record with youngsters, to a certain degree.

If the club want him then we have to trust their judgement.
