ARSENAL AND IVAN FRESNEDA TRANSFER LINKS FULL STORY
According to reports, Arsenal are showing interest in Ivan Fresneda in the January transfer window. However, they have not made a bid for the young defender. The report also claims that the Gunners have told his agent that a move will happen in January. They have also told that they would like to focus on the Mudryk deal first. However, after missing out on Mudryk, the Gunners should now focus on other signings. Real Valladolid are also open to selling for the right price.
However, they would like to keep him at the club for the rest of the season. Although, the Gunners would have no problems with that. It is because Arsenal have Ben White and Takheiro Tomiyasu for the right-back position. They also have Cedric. However, Fulham are showing serious interest in signing him.

The Gunners will also have to beat the competition of Newcastle United for his signature.

According to Chronicle Live, the player’s agent is also in England. It is to negotiate a move to the Premier League for his client. Newcastle United scout Steve Nickson also came to Spain to see Fresneda playing against Real Madrid. He was also spotted sitting beside the agent of Ivan Fresneda. Hence, it looks like the Magpies are leading the race. Therefore, Arsenal will have a lot of groundwork to compete for the signature of the young Spanish right-back.
Arsenal will also hope to sign a winger and a midfielder in the January transfer window. Therefore, it is looking like there are many priorities for the Gunners in this transfer window. This also shows clearly that the owners are ready to back the ambition of Mikel Arteta this season. Both the manager and the owners want to win the Premier League title this season.
